Celebrating Her Story

Arizona’s Children Association (AzCA) is proud to announce its fourth annual “Celebrating Her Story” event on Tuesday, April 8th. This esteemed luncheon is dedicated to recognizing and celebrating 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 she was 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.” AzCA is honored to recognize her fortitude and outstanding contributions to our children.
