The Journey Continues
On October 27, 2026, Women’s Education Alliance hosted its 14th Annual Fall Luncheon at Cardinal Shehan School—an afternoon filled with inspiration, gratitude, and remembrance. Under the theme “The Journey Continues,” supporters, donors, and friends gathered to celebrate our scholars, honor our educators, and reaffirm our shared commitment to our partner Catholic community schools.
This year’s gathering held special meaning as we honored the life and legacy of our beloved Board Chair, Betty Contino. Her dedication to WEA and belief in the promise of every child helped shape the journey we continue today. A heartfelt tribute celebrated her leadership, generosity, and the lasting difference she made in the lives of students and families.
From inspiring student reflections and joyful musical performances to meaningful connections among guests, the afternoon celebrated the accomplishments made possible by our community and the opportunities ahead. Together, we carry Betty’s legacy forward, helping more children learn, grow, and pursue bright futures.
