100 Women Who Care of Pinellas County presented Caregivers Support Network
with a donation of $11,400 on Thursday, January 11th. The mission of Caregivers Support Network is to bring the community together to recognize youth caregivers as heroes, as well as to provide scholarship funding for youth who sacrifice their educational advancement to care for a loved one.
100 Women Who Care of Pinellas County is a philanthropic group that provides an avenue for women to join together to bring financial support to local, charitable organizations that have a 501(c)(3) status. Members commit to attending four meetings per year (one per quarter) and pledge to donate $100 to an elected charity at each meeting. The members have the opportunity to nominate any organization, three of the nominated organizations are then randomly selected to give a 5-minute presentation, a vote is taken, and then checks are written directly to the winning charity. Since February of 2013, we have given $159,300 to local charities. The
next meeting is 7:00-8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 20th at Cove Cay Golf Club at 2612 Cove Cay Drive in Clearwater. There is a social time from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at the Cove Cay restaurant, where drinks and snacks can be purchased.
