Magee Women's Research Institute: Improving the lives of women
October 18, 2021
Pittsburgh is fortunate to have one of the top research institutes in the world dedicated to improving the health and well-being of women. Magee’s research “spans a woman’s lifetime, from the first 9 months to 90-plus years.” GBU Life is proud to begin a partnership with Magee Women’s Research Institute through donations, fundraising support and sharing of educational information which will highlight research that will help not only women in the local community but throughout the world. In September GBU Life sponsored Savor Pittsburgh, an annual event that highlights local chefs and raises funds for Magee.

The GBU Life Scholarship Awards support students in college, trade programs, non-college programs, and graduate school, helping them achieve their dreams, setting them on a career path and realizing life goals. Since its founding, the GBU Foundation has awarded 4,500 scholarships and educational grants totaling more than $3.2 million. In 2025, 215 members received $226,000 to support their two‑year, four‑year and graduate studies. Here’s a look at where the rubber meets the road — as we check in on past grantees to see how their scholarship awards have helped them stay on course, where they are now, and where they hope to be in the future.
