The idea for 100 Women Who Care started when Karen Duigan found her community in need of about $10,000 worth of baby cribs, blankets, and mattresses to help new mothers in her community. With all of her involvement in the community, Karen knew she could call ten people and ask them to write $1,000 cheques, but she also figured she knew 100 women who would each give $100. She began making phone calls and scheduled a meeting. At that first meeting, in one hour, a group of Karen’s friends heard the story and each wrote cheques to the sum of $12,800 donation. Karen’s legacy lives on through the expansion of 100 Who Care chapters throughout the world. There are now more than 350 chapters either fully operational or under development and they include women, men, people and kids chapters. Karen saw people for their strengths and realized that when 100 or more people come together in a room, each person becomes a powerful force for doing good work while lifting up your community. We are each strong in our own right, but together we are stronger.
We can have that same transformative impact here in Lennox & Addington County. When 100 people donate $100 at the same time, the group accomplishes collectively what few of us can accomplish on our own: making a $10,000 donation that can enable a charity to complete a project or attain a goal that had been out of reach. That's real impact in our own backyards. And it only takes an hour.
Here’s how it works:
Become a part of the legacy. Help us write the story of 100 Women Who Care through this new Lennox & Addington chapter.
Sincerely yours,

Here’s how it works:
- We get together four times a year to hear about three local charities that are nominated and presented by our members;
- The group votes on which charity to support during each one hour meeting;
- Each member writes a $100 tax deductible cheque on the spot to the winning charity.
