84 Lumber Celebrates Women in Construction Week and Women's History Month

As a woman-owned company, 84 Lumber is going all out this month.

For Western Pennsylvania-based 84 Lumber, March is a big month! Not only do Women's History Month and International Women's Day fall in March, but it's also Women in Construction Week. As a woman-owned company, 84 Lumber is giving back to women in its communities here in Pittsburgh and around the country.

Throughout the month, 84 Lumber is launching various giveaways and campaigns in an effort to empower and celebrate women. Follow the company on Instagram to see how you can win a gift basket filled with products from women-owned companies around the country.

To give back to front-line workers, 84 Lumber is working with Nemacolin to give away two 2-night stays to Nemacolin Resort to deserving women front-line workers. If you know a woman working as a front-line worker who deserves a getaway this year, make sure you follow 84 Lumber's social media pages to nominate her!

Finally, 84 Lumber is partnering with the Pittsburgh Penguins to give one Pittsburgh-area woman-owned business a $25,000 grant. This is the second year of the EmpowerHer Grant, which is part of 84 Lumber's L.I.F.T. (Leading & Inspiring Females to Thrive) program with the Penguins.
