SIDNEY — The Waterville Area Women’s Club is set to host its second annual “100 Women Who Give” event at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 10, at Snow Pond Center for the Arts, 8 Goldenrod Lane.
Attendees will cast live voting to select one local nonprofit to receive a $10,000 unrestricted gift.
The event invites women interested in supporting their community by contributing as a group to increase impact. One hundred women will purchase a ticket for $100 each to raise $10,000. The evening includes food, presentations by selected nonprofits, music and voting, followed by the awarding of the $10,000 gift to the selected organization and an event celebration.
Last year’s event awarded $10,000 to Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence. Because of the generosity of more than 100 women in attendance, additional donations were awarded to the Waterville Community Dental Center and the Maine Children’s Home, according to a news release from the club.
The three nonprofit organizations on the voting ballot this year include Camp to Belong, the Maine Women’s Lobby Education Fund, and the South End Teen Center.
To purchase a ticket to attend and/or vote on April 10, visit the Waterville Area Women’s Club Facebook page or watervilleareawomensclub.org.
