About Us

More Information

- We get together 3 times per year: Winter, Late Spring, and Early Fall

- You Sign up as a member and write a cheque for $100.00 at each meeting

- In advance of each meeting, all members can submit the name of a local charitable organization they would like to see us support (nomination form needs to be filled out and submitted three days before the meeting). Contact us for a form.

- At each meeting the names of three charitable groups will be drawn. The member who nominated the organization drawn will speak to their nomination and encourage their fellow members to vote for their nominee. After each "pitch" there will be time for questions regarding the organization and the "pitch".

- After the three members have "made their pitch" for their nominee, all members vote. The organization which receives the most votes gets the donation for the evening.

- All members write their cheque to the winning organization for $100.00

- The successful organization receives all the cheques and will issue charitable receipts.

- At the following meeting the successful charity, which received the donations, will present on how the moneys have been or will be spent. Then we go through the process of drawing 3 names, presentations and voting for that meeting's successful organization.

- 100% of the funds raised go to the selected charity - NO ADMINISTRATION COSTS!

- 100 Women Who Care Sylvan Lake and Area is coordinated by volunteers, all of our costs are covered by generous support from our members or community sponsors who wish to provide funds to cover meeting and other administration costs. If you wish to donate to help cover some meeting costs, contact us!

NOMINATIONS: How they work

Each Member of 100+ Women Who Care is allowed to nominate one local charity of their choosing for any given meeting. The charity must serve Sylvan Lake & Area and it must be a registered charity to be eligible for consideration. The member must submit her completed nomination form (email us and we'll send you one!) at least 3 days prior to the meeting in order to have it vetted as eligible and added to the "hat" from which we randomly draw three names at each meeting.

The charity that is selected to receive our group'a donation will be invited to the next meeting to give a 5 minute speech on how our donation was spent (or will be spent) and the impact the donation has had or will have.

Helpful Tip: At each meeting, a charity CAN be nominated by more than one member! This increases their chances of being drawn for consideration. We must always have three different charities for our members to consider voting for, but multiple nomination for one charity does tip the hat in that charity's favor to be drawn as one of the three. Please note: the member's name on the ticket drawn is the person who MUST come up to speak for the charity. (Every member that nominates a charity must themselves be willing and able to get up and speak about why our group should vote for that charity and they must also be able to answer questions from the group.)
