Hannaford Supermarkets, Maine Community Bank, Broadway Gardens and Coast 93.1 are partnering to identify and celebrate women in Maine who go above and beyond to make their communities a better place to live.

We know those unsung heroes in our neighborhoods – those women who are already busy yet find ways to give back in big ways to help others.

Who is that woman in your life?

Each outstanding woman will be highlighted on Coast 93.1 with her own day of recognition and will be celebrated in a special event featuring all of Coast’s “20 Outstanding Women” to take place on March 30, 2026, at USM’s Hannaford Hall.
