100 Women Who Care thanks Madison Park neighbors

Our first donation event of this year was in February, where we chose Ladybug House to receive our donation. With Madison Park neighbors’ participation, we presented them with a check for $4,050.

Ladybug House is building Seattle's first palliative care home for children, adolescents and young adults with life-limiting illnesses. Their mission: “If we cannot add days to the life of a child, we will add life to their days." They are working to fill a much-needed gap in children’s palliative care (ladybughouse.org).

Our 100 Women Who Care giving circle is growing, and to date we have donated $30,000 to support nonprofits in our community. We invite the charities to speak with us, and then we vote on who we want to direct our funds to with 100 percent going to the charity.

Our goal: 100 women x $100 = $10,000 impact to a charity, and we meet only three times per year.

If you are looking for a simple yet impactful way to give back to our community, then 100 Women Who Care may be the right group for you. Come join us at our next event 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, May 9, at Pyramid Ale House, 1201 First Ave. S.
