Make a Difference in Our Community

As individuals we know it can be challenging to make a very large impact, but as a group we have the ability to contribute to the growth of our community in ways that we never before thought possible.

100 Women Who Care was started in November of 2006 by Karen Dunigan of Jackson, MI, as a brilliantly simple way to raise money efficiently and quickly for local charities.  In a meeting with the Center for Family Health, Karen learned of a need for cribs for new mothers who were bringing their babies home and placing the sleeping infants in boxes, dresser drawers or on their own beds because they could not afford a proper crib.  Karen figured she knew 100 women who would each give $100.  She began making phone calls and scheduled a meeting.  At the first meeting, in one hour, a group of Karen’s friends heard the story and each wrote a check to the Center for Family Health and raised $12,800, more than was requested.  They were able to purchase 300 new baby cribs!

100+ Women Who Care – Clear Lake Bay Area was launched in November, 2015 by Tracy Bush, Justine Powell and Cindy Sebald.
