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.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
