A Message from the President
Dear Members,
As we begin another year, I want to take a moment to reflect on all that we’ve accomplished during the past year. From the beginning our focus was to support our community by giving back to those in need. Through the hard work and dedication of our members, we have done just that.
Here are just a few highlights from this past year:
- Community Outreach: We donated $9,275 through our partnerships with local organizations such as Hopkinton Youth and Family Services, the Hopkinton Food Bank and the Hopkinton Public Library, and volunteered with organizations like Project Just Because and Dignity Matters, making a tangible difference in the lives of women and families.
- Scholarships and Awards: We awarded $12,000 in scholarships to 18 high school seniors and $1,350 in awards for the Mary McDonough Community Service Award, Junior Endeavor Award and Middle School Endeavor Award.
- Educational Programs: Our monthly programs, such as History of Hopkinton, Dignity Matters, Dress for Success and a doctor from the Milford Physicians Group, provided members and the community with opportunities to learn and grow.
- Fundraising Success: Thanks to the creativity and hard work of the members behind events like our Hopkinton Register, Hopkinton Charity Golf Tournament, Ladies Night Out, Pizza Night and PolyArts sales, as well as our collaboration with our Marathon runner, Sandy Pollen, we raised approximately $23,821, supporting both our scholarship fund and other local charities.
All of this is possible due to the support and energy each of you brings to the club. Whether you led a committee, attended an event, brought a friend to an event, or simply offered words of encouragement—thank you.
As I begin my last year as President, I am filled with gratitude. It is an honor to serve this club and I look forward to the coming year and to seeing how our club continues to grow and thrive.
With appreciation,
Cris Bright
President, Hopkinton Women’s Club, 2025-2026
