And the Winners Are…

We're thrilled to share the results from this year's 100+ Women Who Care event!

Thanks to the collective generosity of the incredible women who showed up, voted, and gave, two amazing local nonprofits are walking away with meaningful support:

$5,000 Grant: AAUW – Future of STEM Road Trip

$2,500 Grant: Giving Tree Food Pantry

We were fortunate to have so many incredible nonprofits nominated this year. If one of these nonprofits caught your eye, but you didn’t have a chance to learn more about them, we encourage you to reach out and get involved. The need in our community is great, and these nonprofits play a critical role in creating lasting change. Whether through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading the word, your involvement matters.
