The President’s Luncheon of The Twenty-Five Club, held at the elegant Pittsburgh Golf Club in June 2025, was a truly memorable celebration of leadership, philanthropy, and enduring friendship. Set against the club’s timeless backdrop, members gathered for an afternoon that beautifully reflected the spirit and mission of the organization.
The luncheon was graciously chaired by dedicated members Natalie Hoffman, Steffie Bozic, Faye Sampson, and Terri Bone, whose thoughtful planning and attention to detail created an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. Their efforts ensured a seamless and inspiring event that honored both tradition and progress.
A highlight of the afternoon was the formal transition of leadership. Susan Fitzsimmons warmly welcomed and officially initiated Cynthia Carrow as the incoming President, marking an exciting new chapter for the Club. In a touching tribute, outgoing President Michel Franklin was presented with a beautifully engraved silver tray in recognition of her leadership, tireless dedication, and impactful service over the past two years.
The luncheon also celebrated the Club’s philanthropic achievements. Michael Annichine, CEO of Magee-Womens Research Institute, was presented with the 2025 revenues of The Twenty-Five Club. These funds will directly support critical research programs and neonatal initiatives, furthering the Club’s longstanding commitment to advancing women’s health and improving outcomes for newborns.
It was an afternoon defined by gratitude, accomplishment, and a shared vision for the future—an inspiring reflection of The Twenty-Five Club’s mission in action.
