Join us for the 23rd Annual Stepping Up for Girls – a celebration of women’s philanthropy, leadership, and the empowerment of adolescent girls in Central Massachusetts.
For 23 years, the Women’s Initiative has worked to uplift women and girls, and this special evening will bring together friends, partners, and supporters to honor our impact and recognize inspiring leaders in our community.
We are proud to present the 2025 Honorees:
Lois B. Green Leadership Award: Karlene Cudak, Development and Communications Manager, CASA Project Worcester County
Meridith D. Wesby Young Leader Award: Maryah Muldrow, Student, Worcester Academy
Together, we’re building a future where every girl grows up safe, confident, and empowered to achieve her dreams. Be part of this powerful celebration as we continue to elevate women’s leadership and invest in the next generation of strong, resilient girls in Central MA.
