What It Feels Like When Giving Truly Matters

May 4, 2026 | All News

Have you ever experienced that moment —
the kind where you realize you showed up, you mattered, and together with others, you did something truly meaningful?

That feeling is hard to describe… but when it happens, you know it.

That feeling is what 100+ Women Who Care is all about.

It’s the energy in the room when women come together with a shared purpose. It’s the moment when stories are shared, votes are cast, and thousands of dollars are directed to meet immediate needs right here in our community. It’s powerful. It’s joyful. And it stays with you long after the hour is over.

Since 2016, Otsego Community Foundation’s 100+ Women Who Care events have raised $171,000 in just 10 hours. Half of that funding has gone directly to local nonprofits, while the other half has strengthened the Community Fund — ensuring both immediate and long‑term impact. It’s a remarkable testament to what happens when women come together to solve a problem.

We invite you to be part of this meaningful, engaging event — an opportunity to learn about the vital work local nonprofits are doing while connecting with other community‑minded women.

Event Details

North Life Church
115 E. Main Street, Gaylord, MI 49735

Doors Open: 5:00 PM
Event: 6:00–7:00 PM
Cost: $100 per person

When doors open at 5:00 PM, attendees have time to mix, mingle, and meet the local nonprofit organizations that have been nominated. It’s a chance to learn firsthand about the important work happening throughout Otsego County — before the one‑hour event begins.

The Impact, in Photos

Take a moment to look at the photos above.

Each one represents a local organization being seen, supported, and celebrated.

That’s 24 nonprofits.
24 moments of relief, hope, and gratitude.
24 real outcomes — all made possible one hour at a time through 100+ Women Who Care.

Since 2016, this collective generosity has directed $171,000 back into our community in just 10 hours.

So the question is…
