30th Annual Tribute to Outstanding Women

October 15 • La Fabrica • 450 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge

For 30 years, YWCA Cambridge’s Tribute to Outstanding Women has been more than an event — it’s a gathering of stories, resilience, and possibility. Each fall, we come together to honor women whose courage, vision, and persistence have reshaped our community for the better. These leaders don’t just inspire; they open doors, shape policies, and remind us what’s possible when equity is at the heart of our work.

Tribute is also a lifeline. The funds raised sustain YWCA Cambridge’s housing for women in need of stability and safety, shelter for families facing homelessness, and free leadership programs for young people finding their voices. In the past year alone, 600+ people have directly benefited from YWCA Cambridge programs — finding refuge, support, and opportunity through our doors. Every ticket purchased and every sponsorship pledged helps ensure that this direct impact continues to grow.

If you are interested in sponsoring the event, please reach out to Abigail Hamilton at development@ywcacam.org.
