OUR SPONSORS

All money raised by 100+ Women Who Care Mid-Island goes to local registered charities, so we are incredibly grateful for our sponsors. They are a huge help when it comes to the day-to-day operations of our chapter. Sponsors contribute to administrative costs, such as website development and maintenance, graphic design, lanyards, marketing, photography, printing, room rentals and other administrative incidentals.

A big warm thank you to all the sponsors who helped us get up and running.

We are so fortunate to be included in the ever-growing list of groups who have benefited from their generosity.
