Hello ,
This month has been especially memorable as we celebrated the 20th Annual A Day of Words, Wit & Wisdom (W3) and announced our Pathways to Possibilities Campaign (learn more below!) in honor of WE CAN’s 25th anniversary. We are so grateful for the energy, generosity, and commitment of this incredible community as we continue creating pathways for women across Cape Cod.
June is also a time of reflection and celebration as we recognize Pride Month and Juneteenth. These moments remind us of the importance of equity, inclusion, and building a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
With gratitude,
Lisa Guyon
Executive Director, WE CAN

INTRODUCING
Pathways to Possibilities
Last week at W3, we announced the Pathways to Possibilities Campaign, a $5 million initiative honoring WE CAN’s 25 years of impact and investing in the future of women across Cape Cod.
With $2.6 million already raised thanks to the generosity of a catalyst group of donors, this campaign will strengthen current programs, expand access to services, advocate for the needs of Cape Cod women, and build long-term sustainability for WE CAN. Together, we can continue creating pathways toward confidence, stability, opportunity, and possibility for women across our community.

Celebrating 20 Years of W3
Last week’s W3 was truly one to remember as we celebrated 20 years of this beloved event and 25 years of creating a Cape Cod where women thrive.
The morning brought together our wonderful emcee, Anne LeClaire, an all-star panel of returning authors Hank Phillippi Ryan, Jane Hamilton, Stephen McCauley, and Karen Joy Fowler, and powerful stories shared from our Voices.
From moments of inspiration and humor to stories of courage, connection, and possibility, W3 was a beautiful reminder of the extraordinary community that makes WE CAN’s work possible.
