Thank You Pittsburgh! Our hearts are full today as we reflect on another successful Day of Giving and an incredible evening at Motivational Mondays.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared our mission, attended the event, stopped by to support our guest bartenders, and helped us celebrate the legacy of our founder, Commander Gwendolyn J. Elliott. Your generosity reminds us that our community believes in the power and potential of Black girls.

Because of you, we are one step closer to completing our new headquarters in Wilkinsburg, a space that will increase opportunities and access to critical services, helping even more girls and families. Special thanks to Nobleman Cigar Lounge for hosting us and to everyone who came out to give back.

TODAY IS THE DAY‼️

Happy Gwen Elliott Day of Giving Day‼

This special day is an opportunity to honor Gwen Elliott’s legacy and invest in the future of Gwen’s Girls as we continue building our forever home, a new headquarters where girls and young women will be supported, empowered, and inspired for generations to come.

Our new building represents more than walls and windows. It is a permanent home for our mission, our programs, our families, and our community. It is a place where girls can be seen, heard, celebrated, and given the tools they need to thrive.

Your support on June 8 will help us continue this important work and move closer to completing a space worthy of Gwen’s vision.

Please consider making a gift on June 8, or make your contribution early today.
