11/29/13 - While many people are focused this weekend on getting, a local group of women is close to reaching their goal of giving. 100 Women Who Care About Livingston County set a benchmark to donate at least $40,000 this year to Livingston County non-profit groups. And when the group holds its quarterly meeting next week, organizers expect they will reach that milestone. 100 Women Who Care is a unique fundraising model in which women are encouraged to come together and register their favorite charity. Three are then selected randomly and one is voted on by the group to receive $100 checks from all that are present. If the full 100 show up, that amounts to a $10,000 donation. With the groupâs donation in September to Kidâs Wings, an organization that provides free air transport to those in need of medical treatment, their yearly total reached over $30,000. More than 200 women have been invited to the final meeting of the year, which is set for Tuesday, December 3rd at 5:30pm at the 2|42 Community Church in Genoa Township. Founder Candye Hinton hopes they will be able to more than reach the $40,000 annual goal. Details can be found online through the link below. (JK)
