100+ Women Who Care donate to YMCA Strong Kids

The Chatham-Kent chapter of 100 Women Who Care continues to make an impact on the community.

The group recently presented a cheque for over $12,000 to the Chatham-Kent YMCA Strong Kids campaign.

"With summer camp approaching, this donation will allow us to help even more families across our CK community," said Amy Wadsworth, Chatham-Kent YMCA General Manager. "Thank you!"

Since August 2016, 100+ Women Who Care Chatham-Kent has donated more than $124,000 to 12 local charities.

The group meets four times a year for one hour, and each member commits to making a $100 donation to the selected charity. At each meeting, local charities in financial need are presented by members, and one is selected by a majority vote to receive the collective donation.

The next meeting, celebrating the group's third anniversary, will be held on Wednesday, August 28 at the Retro Suites Derby at 6 p.m.
