Samra R. Savioz- Just nominated for SWPA "leveling the playing field" award!

The Women and Girls Foundation’s celebration of “Women in Sports: Leveling the Playing Field” will take place the evening of Saturday, October 13, 2007 at the Heinz Field East Club Lounge in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

What is the history of this award?
In 2005, the Women and Girls Foundation (WGF) pledged to honor 24 women each year who were engaged in dynamic work in exciting and challenging career fields in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The purpose of these annual events is to honor women innovators and to inspire young women to see the range of career options available to them. In 2005, WGF honored 24 “Women in Science” at the Carnegie Science Center.

In 2006, we again honored some phenomenal women who are making a difference in our region through their work in finance and manufacturing at our event called “Women in the Material World.” Hundreds of people attended both events to honor a diverse group of women in various fields, each with her own magnificent success story!


This year, we want to honor a diverse group of “Women in Sports” who are leveling the playing field.

This is a premier opportunity to celebrate outstanding women leaders in Southwestern Pennsylvania, and foster community awareness of the inspiring women in your neighborhood, company or organization
. The celebration of “Women in Sports” will provide honorees, their organizations and other community leaders with the opportunity to connect their work with the efforts of The Women and Girls Foundation to pursue equity for women and girls in our region.

The event will highlight many of the women and teenage girls who are making an impact on athletics throughout our region – whether they are coaches, athletes, sports agents, attorneys, sports medicine practitioners, or own a team of women athletes – they all level the playing field every day.

It is a great honor to have been nominated for such a prestigious award. I thank all of my supporters for allowing me to help them make positive changes in their lives!
