100+ Women Who Care Cayman raised $7,500 for charities

(CMR) 100+ Women Who Care Cayman raised $7,500 at their second event of the year at Guy Harvey’s Boathouse Grill on June 29, 2023. The ‘Girl’s night out with a Difference – summer edition’ aimed at achieving more together within the Cayman community.

Breast Cancer Foundation – Cayman Islands won the main pot of $5,000 donated by the members. The Cayman Islands Crisis Centre and Plastic Free Cayman both left with $1,250 thanks to platinum sponsor Health City Cayman Islands and a generous donation from emcee Vicky Wheaton. In total, the event raised $7,500. Her Excellency, Governor Jane Owens rewarded the winning charity with their cheque.

At the start of the evening at 6 pm, after donating $100 CI, all women were welcomed with a raffle ticket, a voting card, a goodie bag, an experienced lounge of local businesses, and a complimentary drink provided by drink sponsor Bombay Bramble.

Vicky Wheaton, the emcee for the evening, started off the 5-minute charity presentations. Ari Underwood and Cheyenna Caldron presented for Breast Cancer Foundation – Cayman Islands, Mariesha Spencer for Cayman Islands Crisis Centre, and Bella Rooney for Plastic Free Cayman. After their time was up, all members voted for their favorite to win, and the volunteers counted the cash and votes behind the scenes while many raffle prizes were awarded.

Attendees topped up our refreshments at the bar while catching up with friends and making new acquaintances. Special thanks to venue sponsor Market Street Group for hosting this event at the wonderful Guy Harvey’s Boathouse Grill.

100+ Women Who Care Cayman Islands is a giving circle that started in 2015 and is affiliated with the 100 Who Care Alliance in the US. The group gathers three to four times a year for a one-hour meeting, and each member brings a donation of CI$100 that goes to the selected charity. This combined donation makes a real impact without time-consuming fundraising events and planning.

Thanks to members, local businesses, and volunteers, the organization has raised over $350,000 for Cayman charities. In addition to fundraising for great causes, 100+ Women Who Care Cayman Islands also provides a fun and relaxed networking opportunity for women living in Cayman.
