100 Women Who Care top $200,000 in donations!

SIREN – 100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett held their May quarterly meeting at The Lodge at Crooked Lake in Siren. At the meeting, three non-profit groups presented to the women, explaining their missions, needs, and what they would do with the donation if they were selected to receive it. Members voted for the group they deemed most deserving, ultimately choosing to award $13,600 to T.H.U.G. Life Ministries, an organization that will will use the donated funds to help youth in need with housing, school fees, clothing, food, doctor bills, everyday necessities, and more. The kids T.H.U.G. Life Ministries serve are being lost in the shuffle and this donation will help keep them off the streets, keep them safe from predators, and stop the cycle of violence, drug abuse, criminal activities, and suicide that can be an easy path to follow without the right intervention.

100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett meets quarterly, on the second Wednesday evening of February, May, August and November. At each meeting, three local non-profit groups are allowed to give a brief presentation to educate members about their cause. At the end of the presentations, each member votes anonymously for the group they feel is most deserving to receive their quarterly donation. Three different non-profit groups will be chosen at random from all eligible applicants to present each quarter. All groups who apply must operate in Polk and/or Burnett, Wisconsin counties and have 501(c)(3) status. Once a non-profit is selected to receive a donation, they will be removed from the eligible pool until all applicants have had the opportunity to present to the group. If a non-profit group is chosen to present, but is not chosen to receive the donation, they will be added back to the drawing after one calendar year. 

100 Women Who Care - Polk/Burnett plan to hold their next meeting on Wednesday, August 9, 2023 at Wilkins Bar & Resort in Luck. If you are interested in joining the group or would like to submit an application to present, please visit www.100wwc-pb.weebly.com or send an inquiry to [email protected].
