HELP of Beaufort receives 100 Women Who Care’s July 2017 Donation

At the third quarter meeting of 100 Women Who Care on July 11, 2017, HELP of Beaufort was awarded the donation, ultimately totaling $13,600!  HELP’s Mission is to “provide emergency assistance to the people of Beaufort County and surrounding areas with specific basic needs.”  Services include a food pantry, mobile meals, clothing and financial assistance.  Learn more about HELP of Beaufort at www.helpofbeaufort.org.

Our members also had the chance to hear stories of the lives of animals and their owners who turned to BROKEN TAILS for help and the work that is so selflessly carried out with no funding. We learned more about AMI KIDS and the lives of young men that are being changed…encouragement, hope, a future is finally within reach.  We hope that you’ll join us for our final meeting of 2017 on Tuesday, October 10 to learn more about the work that our incredible local non-profits do every day.

The YMCA of Beaufort receives our April donation!

What a night!  During our busy and informative second-quarter meeting last night, 100 Women Who Care Beaufort voted to award our donation to the YMCA of Beaufort.  After a presentation on the annual summer camp conducted by the YMCA for the children of migrant workers, members were asked to allocate their check to either the Migrant Program or the Scholarship Fund.  To learn more about the YMCA of Beaufort, visit their website.

If you missed last night’s meeting, please make your checks payable to YMCA and on the memo line note either “Migrant Program” or “Scholarships” (more generic).  Your check may be mailed to 100WWC Beaufort at PO Box 2579, Beaufort 29901.

Members also had the opportunity to learn more about the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry from Emmy Rooney, Vice President for Development and Donor Services and to listen to excellent presentations on Broken Tails and AMI Kids.  Join us for our next meeting, Tuesday, July 11, 2017!

New meeting times start at our next meeting: April 11, 2017!

Join us Tuesday, April 11, 2017 for our second meeting of the year!  Beginning in April our meetings will now run from 5:00 – 6:30 PM.  Check-in/registration will take place from 5:00 – 5:30 PM with the meeting beginning promptly at 5:30 PM.  Presenters will now be allowed 10 minutes (rather than 5) for their presentations and the meetings will end at 6:30 PM.

New year, new nomination process

It’s hard to believe that we are entering our third year and yet there’s a trail of generous evidence to prove that it’s true:  over the past two years through our collective giving, we have awarded over $117,000 to eight incredible local non-profits.  It has been an incredibly rewarding two years during which we have learned much from our members.

Based on feedback from members, we are changing our nomination process in order to ensure that the organizations nominated meet our requirements and to improve the consistency and accuracy of the presentations.  The Nomination Form (available on the Nominating section of our website) will now be required at least one week prior to each meeting.  It can be e-mailed to 100wwcbeaufort@gmail.com or mailed to P.O. Box 2579, Beaufort, SC 29901.

Please remember that organizations must have a physical address in Northern Beaufort County and must have 501c3 status (or fall under the umbrella of the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry).  For more information on our nomination process, please visit the Nominating Page on our website.

Congratulations to The Black ButterFly Foundation

At our final meeting of the year on Tuesday, October 13, we had the privilege of hearing about three local charities: Habitat for Humanity, the BlackButterFly Foundation and Hope Haven. This truly never gets old! The donations for this quarter will be going to the BlackButterFly Foundation. It was founded by Angel Ryan in memory of her daughter Christina Ryan-Henegar who lost her life in November of last year following a fire. She had a devotion to her community and passion for the arts. The goal of the foundation is to achieve higher esteem in children through education, the arts, social and cultural instruction. Visit their website to learn more about the BlackButterfly Foundation.

Thanks ladies, it has been quite a year and I give thanks for each one of you!
