100 Women Who Care Returns to London & Area

C) ll it r e ’t st r d s 5 a

Got 60 minutes four times a year? Want to make a difference in your local community by combining your $100 donation with other philanthropically minded women who want to give back? Want to learn about local charities? 100 Women Who Care London is for you! The concept is simple: At each of four quarterly meetings, the women in attendance are presented with two randomly chosen local charities. Each charity presents for five minutes, and the women vote for the charity they want to support. The charity with the most votes will receive the entire collective’s donation that evening. Meetings are scheduled for only one hour. Charities are nominated by the Chapter’s members and randomly chosen to present. The charity must be local, and the donation must stay in the London and surrounding area to be considered. Donations are made directly to the charity, so all donations are tax-deductible. London has a history with the 100 Women Who Care concept. The first chapter was started by Susan Nickle and Twee Brown in 2012. It ended around 2017 and donated over $500,000 to local charities. Barb Botten and Suzanne McAllister (both from Byron) heard about the organization from a member of the Chatham-Kent Chapter. After discovering that there wasn’t an active chapter in London, Barb and Suzanne decided to relaunch the group for London and Area.

Chapter meeting dates for 2025: February 25, May 27, August 19 and November 25. To join or learn more, visit www.100womenwhocarelondon.com or find 100+WomenWhoCare-London&Area on Facebook.
