100+ Women Who Care Select Bridge Communities as Beneficiary
100(+) Women Who Care community service club consists of 116 DuPage County women who have committed to gather four-times per year and at each gathering donate $100 to a local charity. The cumulative effect of 116 individuals equates into a substantial impact on a deserving organization. 100% of the monies raised goes directly to the selected charity and all charities are based locally in DuPage County. "Partnering with organizations like Bridge Communities who utilize the talents and resources of so many in the community is unique and valued by everyone in 100(+) Women Who Care." says Bridge Communities mentor and nominating 100(+) Women Who Care member Karen Guyser. "At Bridge Communities, we help homeless families become active, working residents of our local towns and villages. We are honored to be selected by the women of 100(+) Women Who Care. The impact that these women are making on our communities is inspirational." said Bridge Communities Executive Director, Joyce Hothan. Bridge Communities' Sleep Out Saturday 2007 Media Newsroom
