Melissa Etheridge is set to headline this year’s annual Women Who Rock Benefit Concert at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA on August 28th. The benefit concert will feature an all-female-fronted music lineup and proceeds will benefit women’s health research.

Presented by Gibson Gives, all proceeds from the Women Who Rock Benefit Concert support understudied and underfunded women’s health research at Magee-Womens Research Institute (MWRI), the nation’s first and largest research institute dedicated solely to life-saving women’s health research and reproductive biology.

Says Etheridge: “The Women Who Rock benefit concert is all about raising funds for life-saving women’s health research which is underfunded and understudied. I went through my own health issue 20 years ago, I’m still cancer-free now and I know how important it is for women’s health to be studied specifically and independently.”

For fans not attending the concert in person, you can bid on a Gibson 1968 Les Paul Custom guitar, autographed by Melissa, on CharityBuzz.com through August 28th. All proceeds from the auction of the Les Paul Custom guitar will go to support the important work of the Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation.
