On Sunday, March 22, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Penguins Foundation will host the 8^th Annual Her Hockey Day presented by 84 Lumber. 

Her Hockey Day aims to recognize the incredible passion of our women fans during the NHL’s Celebrating Women’s History Month. From girls stepping onto the ice for the first time to women supporting the Pens from home to those who are trailblazers for our great game, we will celebrate YOU on March 22. 

Further, thanks to 84 Lumber, local women will be recognized for their
community engagement and empowered to continue to make Pittsburgh a city of
equality.  Join us for Her Hockey Day on March 22 at PPG Paints Arena or by visiting the Penguins on social media and by watching the Penguins vs. Hurricanes game at 3PM.

As part of the celebration, informational tables will be in the Hall of Fame Hallway featuring organizations tied to advocating female empowerment in Western Pennsylvania.

More than 700 EmpowerHER Grant nominations were collected and three finalists have been determined based on an evaluation by a review panel on the importance of the business within their community-at-large and the difference and impact they are making through their work.

The 2025 EmpowerHER Grant Finalists are Brick House Chic Boutique, K-9 Confections, and Lelulo’s Pizzeria.

The winner will be solely decided by public vote. Everyone is eligible to vote once per day during the voting period, which will run from February 23 – March 13. Be sure to support and select your favorite woman-owned business for their chance to win the $25,000 EmpowerHER Grant!

Hear from a panel of accomplished women professionals throughout several industries that have previously been deemed as “male dominant.” Hear their stories of how they overcame any obstacles they faced along their paths to success and leadership and the importance of their own female advocacy networks along the way. The discussion will also focus on how they’ve taken traits of a successful “team” and instituted these elements along with an emphasis on goal-setting and accountability throughout their companies. For additional details and to reserve your spot, please contact Bernadette Provost at [email protected].

All L.I.F.T. programming is focused on providing resources and information related to leading and inspiring females to thrive.
