GreatNews.Life Celebrates 10th Annual All About the Girls for June 12

Valparaiso Ind. - On Thursday, June 12, the Urschel Pavilion in downtown Valparaiso will come alive with laughter, inspiration, and empowerment as All About the Girls (AATG) celebrates a milestone tenth year. This unforgettable night brings women from all walks of life together to honor their stories, lift one another up, and walk away with a renewed sense of self.

 

For a decade, AATG has created a space where real women share real experiences—stories of strength, perseverance, and passion. More than an event, AATG is a movement built on connection, vulnerability, and the power of collective growth.

 

Each year, six hand-selected speakers take the stage to share their deeply personal and professional journeys. These women are local changemakers—leaders, mothers, mentors, and dreamers—whose stories reflect the heart of Northwest Indiana.

 

This year’s lineup includes:

 

  • Traci Brubaker, Talent Recruiter, Zeigler Auto Group

  • Sherina Gonzalez, Director of Development, A Rosie Place for Children

  • Aubrey Zelenka, Serial Entrepreneur

  • Dawn Zigler, Senior Account Manager, Meridian Title Corporation

  • Tricia Hall, Senior Director of Marketing & Brand Strategy, NorthShore Health Centers

  • Sherri Ziller, President & CEO, Northwest Indiana RDA

 

The 2025 event theme, Dear Me, encourages advice to a younger self. This is a chance to reconnect with the version of themselves they've been, the version they're becoming, and the journey that brought them here.

 

"Ten years ago, I never imagined how many lives this event would touch—including my own. All About the Girls was born from a desire to bring women together in the most authentic, uplifting way possible. Dear Me is a reminder that we are all still learning, healing, and growing. This night is for every woman who needs to hear that her story matters," said Jenny Craig-Brown, Executive Director at GreatNews.Life and founder of AATG.

 

Over the years, AATG has flourished into an amazing tradition—where attendees laugh, cry, cheer, and often do all three within the same hour. It's a night that reminds women they’re not alone—and that together, they are unstoppable.

 

AATG is made possible thanks to the generous support of local sponsors. 2025 sponsors include: Fighting Pretty, Currie Motors Ford of Valpo, Lerner & Rowe Injury Attorneys, Korellis, 1st Source Bank, Pavlou Restaurant Group, and Flanagin’s Bulk Mail Service. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available.
