Arizona’s Children Association (AzCA) is excited to announce the third annual “Celebrating Her Story” event, a Women’s History Month luncheon for supporters, corporate and community partners, friends, and allies. Join us as we celebrate incredible women by “taking a walk in their shoes.”
This year’s event will utilize the power of storytelling to create connections and highlight the importance of empathy, while understanding the value of perspectives in communications and relationships. Our inspiring speakers will share stories of courage, empathy, and equality to empower others to produce real change in their daily lives.
It is important to have courage to stand up for yourself, to ask for help when needed, and to offer help when you can provide it. As the world shifts under our feet, and we look at the challenges facing us, these traits prove more valuable than ever before.
Learn, grow, connect, and make a difference while taking a walk in her shoes.
Proceeds from the event ensure that children and families in need have equal access to the support and care needed to help them thrive.

Arizona’s Children Association (AzCA) is excited to announce the fourth annual “Celebrating Her Story” event, a luncheon for supporters, corporate and community partners, friends, and allies to gather and celebrate exemplary women who have demonstrated resiliency in times of adversity.
This year’s event will recognize Mary Lou Hapner who, paying no attention to glass ceilings, became the first female stockbroker in Arizona and only the second in the United States. In addition, she taught herself golf, rising to the level of the varsity golf team at ASU, was a founding member of the Arizona Biltmore Country Club, and wrote the Proclamation for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor when appointed to the Supreme Court. After her illustrious career, Mary Lou has been a stalwart advocate for children, contributing in multiple ways to numerous Arizona organizations, including serving on AZCA’s Emeritus Board.
Noted artist Annette Smith says, “Mary Lou is a tough, self-made woman with an indomitable spirit who broke through barriers for women in the business world. At the same time, she is generous and compassionate, especially to the kids in Arizona who need our help.” We are honored to recognize her fortitude and outstanding contributions to our children.
Learn, grow, connect, and make a difference.
Proceeds from the event ensure that children and families in need have equal access to the support and care needed to help them thrive.
