Mission
At 100 Women Who Care – Grosse Pointe, our mission is to efficiently serve local charities in a big way. Our shared conviction is that our community charities deserve support with no strings attached. The purpose is for the contribution to stay 100% in the community.
By uniting women to donate $100 each quarter, we can contribute at least $10,000 every three months to local organizations for immediate impact. We invite you to join us in this mission by becoming a member today!
History
100 Women Who Care was started in November 2006 by Karen Dunigan of Jackson, MI, as a brilliantly simple way to raise money for local charities. At their first meeting, her group of 100 women each wrote a $100 check to the winning charity in their city, raising $10,000 to buy 300 new baby cribs for their cause. Since then, 100 Women Who Care has formed chapters all across the country.
The Grosse Pointe chapter was originally founded by Lori Brophy, Marlene Heitmanis, and Judy McGoughlin in 2016. After a brief hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lori, Marlene, and Judy have tapped Jeanne Lizza and Christie Scoggin to re-launch the chapter.
