ALL FOR HER | OBSERVER-REPORTER & HERALD-STANDARD • 3

ALL FOR HER Ten years ago, All For Her began with a simple idea: create a place where women could come together, feel supported and leave a little more inspired than when they arrived. What started as one event has now grown into two. Our mission has expanded, and so has the incredible community of women who make All for Her special. Looking back over the past decade, that is what makes me most proud. All for Her has never been about one type of woman or one stage of life. It is meant for all of us. It is for women building careers and businesses. It is for women raising families, caring for others or finding their way through a new season of life. It is for women starting over, chasing a dream or simply looking for connection. Over the years, we have welcomed more women into this community. More businesses and organizations have joined us, and the conversations we are having have grown deeper. What began with health, confidence and opportunity has evolved to include fashion, fun and the issues that truly affect women’s lives. Through all that growth, the heart of All For Her has remained the same.

We want every woman who walks through our doors to know she belongs here. One of the greatest gifts of the past 10 years has been watching this event become a tradition. Women return with their mothers and daughters. They bring sisters, coworkers and friends. Connections are made here. Businesses are discovered. Stories are shared. Sometimes a woman finds exactly the encouragement she needed at just the right moment. To me, that is the true success of All For Her. I am incredibly grateful to UPMC Washington for believing in this mission from the beginning. I am equally thankful for our sponsors, vendors and community partners who continue to support what we are building. And to our All for Her committee, thank you for the heart and dedication you pour into this event year after year. All For Her will continue to evolve because women continue to evolve. Thank you for being part of our story, for showing up for one another and for helping us begin the next chapter.

Beyond bad cramps: U P M C M a g e e -Wo m e n s exper t explains pelvic pain, endometriosis For many people, painful periods are simply something they are expected to endure. But severe pelvic pain can be a sign of something more, such as endometriosis, a common but often difficult-to-diagnose condition.

stetrics and Gynecology at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, cares for patients with pelvic pain and endometriosis. In a recent UPMC webcast, Dr. Zeccola discussed the condition, its symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. “Endometriosis is a big deal, very common, and it’s a common source of pelvic pain that really we should be considering in anybody that has pelvic pain,” she said.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2026

Endometriosis occurs when cells similar to those that line the uterus are found in other areas of the pelvis. The systemic condition can cause inflammation, scarring and, in more severe cases, significant changes to the anatomy of the pelvis.

One of the most important misconceptions she addresses is that a normal ultrasound rules out endometriosis.

Pain that interferes with daily life is an important warning sign.

“There’s not one right treatment,” Dr. Zeccola said.

Imaging can identify certain forms of the disease, including ovarian cysts associated with endometriosis, but superficial endometriosis It is also more common than many people real- may not appear on an ultrasound or even an ize.

“If you’re having painful cycles, causing you to miss school or work or seek care in the emergency room, that’s not normal for a menstrual cycle,” Dr. Zeccola said.

She also emphasizes the value of a team approach. Patients may benefit from working with gynecologists alongside pelvic floor physical therapists, gastroenterologists, urogynecologists, pain specialists and other professionals.

Giving back starts with showing up For Bonnie Loya, giving back has always been core to her mission. The Berkshire Hathaway agent, commonly accompanied by her golden retriever, Jett, is frequently seen in the community, giving back through sponsorships, hosting events and even seen walking the parade route in Canonsburg on the 4th of July. One community project that is particularly close to her heart is Washington’s Got Talent, an outreach of SW PA Teen Outreach. That particular effort to support young people in Washington County began with a surprising discovery. Sixteen years ago, Loya’s daughter auditioned for Washington’s Got Talent as a seventh grader, unbeknownst to her family.

“It was hilarious because she played the guitar and sang,” Loya said. “I didn’t even know she tried out, let alone sang rock ’n’ roll.” What began as a mother showing up to support her daughter became a 16-year commitment to Washington’s Got Talent and SW PA Teen Outreach. Over the years, Loya has become a familiar supporter of the organization and its efforts to help local youth discover their potential. “My involvement in Teen Outreach changed from spectator to participant when I found out about all the great work they do to help the youth in our community realize their dreams and that possibilities are limitless,” Loya said. “Buddy (Jett’s grandfather), Jett and I have been supporting their events for years — we look forward to seeing the talent that we have in Washington County.” Washington’s Got Talent, which began in 2010, is one of SW PA Teen Outreach’s major fundraisers.

These initiatives grew further as members continued to dedicate time and support to organizations like Dress for Success, helping to not only volunteer at annual events like Fill-A-Bag Sale and donation drives, but also to partner with the Power of Her event held at Range, which provides for a day full of education, service, reflection, and empowerment for high school girls. Each fall, RENEW members attend a virtual meeting with Komen, a nonprofit organization that builds awareness, supports research and helps families and patients with breast cancer. Employees in our Texas office participate in the Komen walk to raise funds and awareness for the disease affecting one in eight women.

Recently, RENEW collaborated with Catholic Charities of Pittsburgh, helping donate items to families facing difficult life circumstances. RENEW has also supported the Women’s Energy Network, a professional association offering networking, leadership development, and career support. Between event sponsorships, clothing drives, supply drives and volunteer hours, the group’s mission has naturally grown to incorporate a theme of women helping women. Range is proud to sponsor All for Her and to have RENEW members attend the events, which inspire attendees to discover their inner confidence while networking and supporting women-owned businesses. Melissa Shaughnessy, chair of RENEW, said all these aspects of the group help strengthen not only its members, but the community it serves. “When women lift one another up

through generosity and service, we don’t just change lives — we strengthen our communities, create opportunities and inspire a lasting legacy of compassion,” Shaughnessy said. “Being part of a company like Range Resources, which encourages and supports our commitment to giving back, is an added benefit to an already strong and supportive work family. It’s meaningful to work

Visit Budd Baer Subaru to learn how we dedicated locally to the Love Promise Community Commitment.

Providing warmth, love, and support to those living with cancer.

Subaru believes we all should have a chance to lead a healthy life. That's why Subaru and our retailers have partnered with Blood Cancer United® (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) for over 10 years. Together with Blood Cancer United, Subaru and our retailers partner with local hospitals and cancer treatment centers during the month of June to give warm blankets, patient care kits, and encouraging messages of hope written by retailers and Subaru customers in our stores to support individuals living with cancer. Why does Subaru donate blankets in the middle of June? Cancer patients often get cold during treatment, regardless of the season. We are making sure they feel warmth, love, and support when they need it most. Through the Blood Cancer United Urgent Need Pediatric and Young Adult Program, we are also providing over 1,800 pediatric blood cancer patient households financial relief to help offset non-medical costs associated with treatment, such as transportation, food, housing, and utilities.

Donate Now and We’ll Match Your Gift

You can join us in supporting those facing blood cancers by making a heartfelt donation to Blood Cancer United. For every dollar you donate during the month of June, Subaru will match your online gift to bloodcancerunited.org dollar for dollar up to $100,000 in total
