Mabel Center is pleased to announce that we received the 2025 Sylvia Simmons Best Practice Award from the Anna B. Stearns Charitable Foundation.
The award honors the exemplary history of service by its outgoing board president, Dr. Sylvia Q. Simmons. A long-time educator, volunteer, and nonprofit consultant, she joined the Foundation’s board in 1996 and became its president in 2000.
During her tenure as president, the Foundation refined its funding interests to focus on gender-specific and gender-sensitive programs that promote the education, independence and self-sufficiency of girls, women, and their families. The Sylvia Simmons Best Practice Award is awarded each year to a nonprofit organization exhibiting innovation and excellence in serving the needs of women+ and girls+ in the Greater Boston area.
We are deeply inspired by Dr. Sylvia Q. Simmons retentless fight for equity in education and beyond, and we are grateful to follow in her footsteps.
