100 Women Who Care Norfolk Have Raised just under $800,000 in Donations to 49 Norfolk charities since May 2014! What an accomplishment! How did we do it? One hundred dollars ($100) four times per year times 180+ members (Membership fluctuates). Over the past 10 years, our membership has grown to more than 180 members.
We are pleased to announce that the successful recipient of $18,800 at the August 2026 meeting was the West Lynn Public School Music Program – presented by Catherine Wiebe (100 Women Member & Music Teacher). The other charities selected to present were: Senior Support Services (presented by Sherri Young (sponsored by Beth Redden) and the Norfolk Foundation – Splash Pad nominated by Natalie McConnell.
The funds will be used to purchase an electronic keyboard for piano accompaniment at outdoor venues, choir uniform t-shirts, hand chimes and kalimbas. The donation will also help to fund bus transportation so these up-and-coming musicians can perform at more venues, allowing more people in the community to enjoy their talent. The program benefits students across all ages and grades while also service audiences at music festivals, public concerts and local nursing homes.
