100+ Women Who Care Central Oregon meets quarterly to support local nonprofits. At each meeting, members nominate organizations, listen to three short presentations, and vote for the recipient. Each member donates $100 directly to the chosen nonprofit, and together those individual gifts add up to major community impact.

This quarter, our members raised $16,600 for Friends of the Children to directly support long-term, professional mentoring program for youth facing the greatest barriers across Central Oregon.

A check presentation to Friends of the Children will be Friday, January 9 at 12:30 p.m. at the Brooks Resources Corporation Office, 409 NW Franklin Avenue in Bend.
