“I have heard women vocally stating for years that they ‘support other female artists.’ Let this no longer be a catch phrase because action speaks much louder than words,” Jill Pavel says of starting the program.


The Highway Women kicked things off by inviting women from the “Be a Highway Woman” program to be featured artists on their upcoming single, and official initiative theme song, “The Highway.” The single will be released on October 30, 2020 with royalties going towards funding a scholarship to help young women interested in a career in music. The single also features members of The Be A Highway Program, Produced by Bonnie Dymond (member) The first scholarship will be awarded in Spring 2021, expanding in 2022.
