Lowell Women's Week

Still not over the magic from this year’s Lowell Women’s Week Breakfast

Take a look at these unedited proofs from Megpix Photography.

No filters. No touch-ups. Just real moments—and WOW.

How lucky are we to have someone like Meg as part of our team? She captured energy. The kind you can feel through the screen.

The people in these photos? Absolutely gorgeous.
But the smiles behind the people? Priceless.

Everywhere you look—
people smiling,
people clapping,
people showing up for one another.

Meg, you are incredible. Thank you for helping us relive it all over again.

Fully edited pictures coming soon!

Every year, the Lowell Women’s Week Breakfast comes together not just to celebrate—but to give back.

This year, we are so proud to support the Lowell Youth Leadership Program (LYLP), an organization that empowers young leaders right here in our community.

As you join us for the breakfast, we invite you to be part of that impact. Donation boxes will be set up and ready to go—every contribution, big or small, helps invest in the next generation.

We are beyond grateful for the incredible women who continue to pour into this community and help make Lowell Women’s Week so special.

A huge thank you to our GRACE Sponsor, JoAnn Marcos, and our 2026 Because of Her Award recipient. JoAnn has helped open doors, build connections, and create space for so many women to lead, grow, and shine. Honoring her this year feels especially meaningful.

We are also proud to thank our STRENGTH Sponsors, newly sworn-in Senator Vanna Howard—the first Cambodian American senator in our nation—and Dr. Maria Vejar of Galeria de los Andes for their support, leadership, and commitment to uplifting our community.
