Hi Joey,
I thought you would be interested to hear about this new giving circle that will launch tomorrow Tuesday, July 30 at 5:30 pm at the Gloucester House. About 100 women who want to support our wonderful local community will gather for the first meeting of the Cape Ann Chapter of 100 Women Who Care (check out https://100whocarecapeann.org). Each woman will donate $100 and through the #powerof100 we will collectively raise $10,000 for a local charity.
We will hear presentations from members about three organizations that — Grace Center, Wellspring Educational Resource Collaborative and O’Maley After School Program — and vote on the one we think most needs funding. We will be meeting four times a year and members can nominate charitable organizations they would like to support. This means we will learn about 12 local charities each year and will donate $40,000+ to four of them.
We are five Gloucester residents who have recruited our friends, but we’d really like to spread the word to get more women to join us at future meetings. It would be great if you could help us to reach more people by writing about our efforts in GMG.
Many thanks in advance for any support you can provide to this worthy effort.
Best,
Marilyn Short
