100+ Women Who Care Valley of the Sun

All of our donations have been delivered and this quarter's total impact was $45,294! We provided funds to nonprofits who offer cancer patients a reprieve from the weight of their diagnosis (Village 360); provide support services for foster youth and adults with special needs (Ohana AZ); and provide free fly fishing wellness retreats for women with breast cancer (Casting for Recovery). This brings our total donation impact to date to $1,435,972! #thepowerof100?#100WWC

??? Women are changing the world, and giving circles are playing a key role in empowering them to make a lasting difference in their communities. By coming together, pooling resources, and supporting one another, these circles create a ripple effect that lifts up those who need it most. Every woman in these circles is not just a supporter—they are an agent of change, pushing for progress, lifting up voices, and making sure no one is left behind. ???? Together, we can empower even more women to take the lead and transform the future. Let’s keep this energy going, today and every day. ?? #InternationalWomensDay #GiveHerPower #WomenSupportingWomen

Friends of Ohana AZ offers vital support to foster care children by providing resources, mentorship, and a nurturing environment that promotes stability, emotional well-being, and a sense of belonging. Our Scottsdale members donated $19,257 to them this quarter. “It is truly inspiring to see so many women come together to uplift and empower the foster youth we serve. Your support sends a strong message that they are valued, supported, and capable of achieving their dreams. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and the lasting impact it will have on their journey to a brighter future,” stated Mandi Lawson, Chief Development Officer. #thepowerof100 #100WWC #azgivingcircles

Casting for Recovery is the recipient of $10,387 from our East Valley members this quarter. These funds will provide breast cancer patients with a therapeutic and empowering outlet through fly fishing, fostering emotional healing, physical strength, and a sense of community. “We are so grateful for the generosity of 100+ Women Who Care. We will be able to fund our upcoming retreat this May as well as jump start our fundraising for our 2026 retreat,” shared Karen Gremminger, Arizona Chapter Director. “Each year we rely on the generosity of our community partners to fund these life changing retreats. THANK YOU!” #ThePowerof100 #100WWC #azgivingcircles

$15,000 was delivered today to Village 360 on behalf of our Ahwatukee members. “The funding from 100+ Women Who Care enabled us to expand our reach, welcoming new clients and enhancing support for existing ones. With this assistance, we increased food donations, provided specialized hygiene items safe for chemotherapy patients, tools to help their comfort, and more,” shared Boneca Brauer, Executive Director. “This support has strengthened our care network, and we are so thankful that we can ensure cancer patients have a compassionate community ready to help.” #100WWC #ThePowerof100 #azgivingcircles

This quarter our three giving circle groups met and chose a local Arizona charity to support. Our Ahwatukee group selected Village 360, our Scottsdale group selected Ohana AZ and our East Valley group selected Casting for Recovery. Stay tuned for updates as our donation totals are tallied and each charity is presented with their BIG check!

We wrapped up our Q1 giving circles in Scottsdale tonight. Our members selected Friends of Ohana as the charity recipient. Friends of Ohana was founded to support foster children and special needs adults living in group homes in Arizona. Friends of Ohana support older foster children as they transition to adulthood. Their mission is to be the extended family to foster children and special needs adults by providing funding for: family-like opportunities, transportation, workforce development, transitional housing, mentorship, and other support services. Their mission is for every person we serve to feel loved and valued, experience hope and dignity for their lives and get to live out their purpose and be a positive contributing member of their community. They are a foster care tax credit charity in Arizona if you are looking for a nonprofit to donate to. #100WWC #thepowerof100 #azgivingcircles

Our Ahwatukee members selected Village 360 as their charity recipient this evening. Village360 is a big, warm hug when the cold reality of a cancer diagnosis hits. This local nonprofit serves Arizona residents battling cancer who may lack a strong support system, including single parents and spouses of deployed personnel. At Village 360, they know that cancer doesn’t just impact health, it affects every aspect of life. #100WWC #thepowerof100 #azgivingcircles

We kicked off our 11th year of giving with our East Valley group! Our members selected Casting for Recovery as the charity recipient. Casting for Recovery is a beautiful, transformative journey for women who have faced the unimaginable challenge of breast cancer. This nonprofit facilitates 3-day retreats for women diagnosed with breast cancer. The Arizona chapter supports local women and hosts its retreats near Greer, AZ. The retreat is a celebration of strength, resilience, and renewal. Thank you, Karen Gremminger, for bringing this inspiring nonprofit to our attention. #thepowerof100 #100WWC #azgivingcircles
