Congratulations to our Fall Impact Award winner!
September 14 was a special night at the Aldo Leopold Nature Center (huge thank you to our member Betsy for hosting us!) where 100+ Women Who Care – Madison presented the $10,000 Impact Award to Madison Starlings Volleyball.
A heartfelt thank you the Boys and Girls Club of Dane County*, Rooted WI and Woodland Montessori School for accepting our members’ invitation to present at this meeting. It fills us with gratitude to know these important Dane County nonprofits will receive support from our organization, helping those in need and making a meaningful impact.
Girls on the Run was on hand sharing how important the Summer Impact Award was to their organization and how grateful their athletes are for our support.
Special thanks to Swita Metal Roofing for sponsoring the Fall meeting, we really appreciate the support from our members and local companies!
Members, please submit donations using the link in your emailed invoice or donate online here.
*As a reminder to members, the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County was chosen to present at the Spring meeting in March, but due to the unexpected passing of its long-time president and CEO, Michael Johnson, the 100+ Women Board of Directors voted to allow the organization to present at the Fall meeting. Please contact info@100womenmadison.org with any questions.
