100 Women Who Care-Chelsea Area Membership recently chose to donate over $10,000 to Stockbridge Community Outreach at its red carpet gala Impact Award Meeting on Tuesday, June 6.
The meeting was held at Chelsea State Bank and kicked off with an interactive networking hour, where members and guests mingled with each other while connecting with local sponsors.
Following the networking hour, members listened to pitches from three randomly selected charities including Bob-a-Loo, Worth Repeating and Stockbridge Community Outreach. The charities were asked to make their best case for the Summer Impact Award. Following the presentations from all three charities, members cast their ballots. Stockbridge Community Outreach received the most votes, and was the recipient of the evening’s Impact Award.
100 Women Who Care – Chelsea Area Member Mary Tomac nominated Stockbridge Community Outreach for consideration and Gwen Reid, represented the nonprofit at the meeting. The nonprofit’s mission is providing essential support to alleviate the effects of hunger and poverty for those in the Stockbridge area by fostering healthy communities and the economic independence of our residents, and demonstrating compassion, respect and dignity for all.
“We are Thrilled to receive this impact award from the amazing group of 100 Women Who Care – Chelsea Area,” said Gwen Reid, Program Director for Stockbridge Community Outreach. “This donation will support our assistance programs, which makes us excited at the Outreach, because we LOVE to take care of our Stockbridge Community.”
The next Impact Award Meeting for 100 Women Who Care – Chelsea Area is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 5. Women interested in joining can find all of the details at www.100wwcchelsea.org along with a list of eligible charities and information on how members can nominate charities.
Since its founding in 2020, 100 Women Who Care – Chelsea Area has awarded a grand total of over $115,000 including member contributions and matching gifts to nine different charities.
