IMPROVING THE LIVES OF WOMEN AND GIRLS
Be a part of something innovative and extraordinary in Cambridge!
YWCA Cambridge is thrilled to host the 10th anniversary of Cheryl-Ann Webster's Beautiful Women
Project opening March 7!
But this is no ordinary exhibit. Our “gallery” at 55 Dickson Street has been transformed into a Body
Image School. This family friendly, interactive art exhibit puts YOU in control of how you think about
and consume beauty culture, and allows you to safely come to really know yourself!
You can sponsor a sculpture by visitng the store on our Facebook Page (YWCA Cambridge).
All proceeds support the growth and expansion of YWCA Cambridge's Girl's Programs and Girls'
Centre. Let's work together to educate girls to love their bodies and utilize their incredible skills and
talents!
