  • 100 or more women who commit to the group. Commitment involves attending four, one hour meetings per year, pledging $100 per meeting ($400 per year).
  • At each meeting, an opportunity is provided for three members of the group to present a five (5) minute explanation of a local 501(c)3 organization in need.
  • There is a 5 minute opportunity for questions after each presentation then a vote is taken by ballot.
  • The winner in announced. each of the 100 (or more) women will write a $100 check to the chosen non profit. That means $10,000+ for the selected charity.
Together, 100 (or more) women in our community, can significantly impact the many local organizations devoted to improving lives.
