Celebrating Excellence in Social Work: 5th Annual S.W.A.G. Awards Announce 2025 Awardees, Sponsors, and Ticket Sales

PITTSBURGH, PA, Nov 20, 2024 (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — The Social Worker Appreciation of Greatness (S.W.A.G.) Awards is proud to announce the 2025 awardees for its 5th annual celebration, honoring the extraordinary contributions of social workers in the Greater Pittsburgh area. This highly anticipated event will take place during National Social Work Month on March 22, 2025, at Sheraton Station Square, 300 W Station Square Drive Pittsburgh, PA, 15219, bringing together advocates, changemakers, and community leaders for a night of inspiration and recognition.

 

The S.W.A.G. Awards were created to honor the “heart work” of social workers who tirelessly serve individuals, families, and communities. Often underpaid and undervalued, these professionals play a critical role in fostering hope, healing, and resilience. “Social workers don’t do this work for recognition, but the disparities they face can’t be ignored. This event is our way of saying, ‘We see you, and we value you,’” said Sharise Nance, founder of the S.W.A.G. Awards and lifelong advocate for social workers.
