100+ Women Who Care of the Leech Lake Area to Hold Fundraiser for Local Non-Profits


   WALKER - 100+ Women Who Care of the Leech Lake Area is excited to announce its upcoming fundraiser on Monday, June 3, 2024, from 5:00-6:30 p.m. at the Arvig Walker Area Community Center (WACC). The event will bring together over 100 women to raise funds for local non-profit organizations in the Leech Lake area. At the event, each woman will donate approximately $100, (or what they are able) and the group present will vote on one of the 3 nominated non-profit organizations that is selected (from the 3 nominees up for a vote by the women at the event). There will be appetizers provided by a Thrivent Community Initiative,  prepared and served by Tianna Country Club. A cash bar will also be available which will be provided by the Walker Rotary Club. The Thrivent Initiative is also sponsoring the bring a stick of butter for the Walker Food Shelf for those who would like to contribute to this drive, in conjunction with the 100 Women giving event.

   **FACT: The Walker Food Shelf does NOT have enough butter to meet the week need at the Food Shelf so what “BUTTER” thing to do with your day than also participate in this drive!!

    The first 100 Women giving event held in December 2022 raised over $13,000 for the Akeley Regional Community Center (ARCC) Emergency Shelter. The second giving event, held in May, 2023 raised over $12,000 for the Walker Area Food Shelf. And the third giving event held in October 2023 raised over $8,000 for the Friends of the Dale and Harriet Jones Walker Library. In addition, all three non-profits qualified for a grant of $5,000 each from the Richard M Schulze Foundation!

The event is open to all women who are interested in supporting the Leech Lake community and its non-profits. Attendees are encouraged to bring a friend or two to join in the fun and make an even bigger impact. As for the donation of $100, the organizers say while $100.00 is the suggested amount, they are not concerned with the dollar amount if that is prohibitive, so just join us and donate whatever you are able to.

    100+ Women Who Care of the Leech Lake Area is a group of women who come together two times a year to support our LOCAL non-profits. 100 Women Who Care was started in November of 2006 by Karen Dunigan of Jackson, Michigan, as a brilliantly simple way to raise money efficiently and quickly for local charities. Since then, Women Who Care chapters have been formed all over North America. These groups collectively have donated well over a million dollars to local based non-profit organizations who are 501(c)(3). Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make a difference in the Leech Lake community. Save the date on June 3, 2024, from 5:00-6:30 p.m. at the Arvig WACC. Sign in begins at 5 p.m. The event will start promptly at 5:30 p.m. and last ONLY one hour! More information about the event and the organization can be found on the Facebook Page 100+ Women Who Care of Leech Lake Area. You may call or text Mar Kuha 218-839-1974 or Margie Richardson 218-760-4715 with any questions. We hope to see you there on June 3, 2024!
