Pittsburgh Professional Women members—mark your calendars! The 2025 Women Who Rock Benefit Concert is coming soon, and we have a special perk just for you. This year’s star-studded, all-female lineup will be headlined by none other than Jessica Simpson.
I’ll be there on the pink carpet to celebrate in style.
This isn’t just a concert—it’s a movement.
About Women Who Rock
Founded by our very own PPW member Melinda Colaizzi, Women Who Rock (WWR) is a trailblazing, female-founded, female-fronted, and female-produced organization on a mission to champion women in music and advocate for women’s health. Through concerts, pop-up events, and global campaigns, WWR amplifies female talent while raising funds for groundbreaking medical research.

Women Who Rock partners with the Magee-Womens Research Institute—the largest research institute in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to women’s health. This year, we’re proud to also highlight another PPW member, Sarah Shorthouse, who serves as Events and Activation Coordinator at Magee, bringing passion and expertise to advancing women’s health initiatives.
100% Headlined by Women – This Year’s Concert Lineup
Women Who Rock concerts are always 100% female-fronted, and every performance helps fund life-saving women’s health research. This year’s event will take place on Friday, September 5, 2025, at Stage AE, starting at 7:30 p.m.
The 2025 Benefit Concert features:
Headliner: Jessica Simpson
Emcee: Kelly Dzanaj of 100.7
Special Performances: DJ Ms. Tiza and Buffalo Rose
Impact Award Winner: Kiya Tomlin
It’s a night of powerhouse talent, uplifting energy, and community impact.
Why It Matters
Did you know that women weren’t even included in clinical trials until 1993? Or that women make up only 19% of the average music festival lineup? Women Who Rock is changing that with one concert, one voice, and one research grant at a time.
