💛 We are incredibly grateful to Room Concepts Furniture and their amazing customers.

Through their commitment to giving back, Room Concepts invited customers to choose from four local Pittsburgh nonprofits to benefit from their purchases and together, they donated $8,966 in 2025 to causes making a real impact in our community.

We are honored to be included alongside:
✨ Road Warrior Foundation — empowering military veterans through adventure therapy and camaraderie
✨ 412 Gives Back — raising funds for local nonprofits, including Make-A-Wish Greater PA & WV
✨ Paws Across Pittsburgh — rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and cats in need

Thank you, Room Concepts, for choosing to invest in the heart of Pittsburgh and for finding meaningful ways to keep your customers connected to causes that matter. We’re so grateful for this partnership and excited to see the ways you continue to give back in the year ahead 💛🖤

During 2025, we found new ways to give back to our local Pittsburgh community. Not only is it important to us as a business that we give a percentage of our sales back to causes that matter; we also seek to keep our customers involved by allowing them to select from among four Pittsburgh nonprofits to benefit from their purchase. Thanks to our customers, we were able to donate a total of $8,966 during 2025; benefitting the following four charities:

412Thrive with their mission to support those affected by breast cancer through community support, retreats, care packages, and more!
Road Warrior Foundation with their mission to empower military veterans through adventure therapy events and sports intended to foster camaraderie, physical skill, and rejuvenation.
412 Gives Back with their mission to raise money for local nonprofits including Make-A-Wish® Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia through exciting fundraising events.
Paws Across Pittsburgh with their mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome homeless, abused or unwanted dogs and cats.

Thank you for partnering with us in this mission this year! We are so excited to explore new ways that we can continue to give back in new ways and to new causes in the upcoming year 💛🖤

Society says:
Be smaller. Be smoother. Be quiet.
Hide the scars. Fix the “flaws.”
Fit the mold.

BRCAStrong says:
Your body is not a problem to solve.
Your scars are proof of survival.
Your softness, strength, curves, changes, and differences tell a story of resilience.

Body shaming has no place here.
Not in cancer.
Not in survivorship.
Not in previvorship.
Not in womanhood.

We stand for every body — previvor, survivor, thriver — at every stage, in every form.
This is your body.
This is your power.
This is strength redefined.

🩷 Dear Body, we see you. We honor you. We love you.

Big win for breast cancer screening 💗

As of January 1, Highmark Health members now have 100% coverage for diagnostic breast cancer imaging, including follow-up studies and MRIs helping eliminate cost as a barrier to care.

This early move supports timely follow-ups, early detection, and better outcomes. Plus, Allegheny Health Network offers walk-in mammograms for those 40+ at multiple locations, making screening easier than ever.

Early detection saves lives. 💕

The plan went into effect Jan. 1.
