- one hundred women - one hour - ten thousand dollars - local impact -
TOGETHER, supporting community.
How We're Helping:
100 Women Who Care Westshore is designed to make an immediate, direct, and positive effect on the lives of our neighbours by bringing together 100+ women who are passionate about contributing to local community causes. First the group members nominate local charities that will be drawn from a hat at our meetings. The group meets for 1 hour, (over tea, coffee, or wine) and after listening to three presentations, we vote on the local charity or non-profit organization that will receive our donations for that night. Every woman writes a cheque to the selected organization, and watches how the group's commitment turns into a $10,000+ donation! Do that four times per year, and witness how $40,000+ can improve the lives of our neighbours when placed in the hands of those working hard to serve our community.
