This document announces the formation of 100 Women Who Care about Long Island, a new philanthropic group for local women to collectively donate to Long Island charities. At quarterly meetings, three member-nominated charities will give five-minute presentations and members will vote for one to receive donations. Each of the 100 members will donate $100 directly to the winning charity, allowing it to benefit from a large collective donation. The winning charity will later report back on the impact of the funds. The first meeting will be held on July 16th at a Melville restaurant to vote on which charity receives the first donation.

- 1. NEWS FROM For media inquiries, contact: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Laura Sikorski, Media Coordinator June 27, 2013 631 261 3066 media@100wwcli.org MOMENTUM IS GROWING . . . MEMBERS ARE SIGNING UP . . . LONG ISLAND CHARITIES ARE BEING NOMINATED . . . WOMEN WANT TO BE PART OF THIS INCREDIBLE GROUP! 100 Women Who Care about Long Island is a new philanthropic group formed for local women who are interested in supporting our communities by contributing to Long Island charities together as a group to increase the donation impact. As individuals it is difficult to make a very large impact, but as a group we have the ability to contribute to the growth of our communities in ways that we never before thought possible. At each quarterly meeting, an opportunity is provided for three members of the group to present a five minute description of a local organization or agency in need. A Q&A session follows, after which members vote on the charity they wish to support. The winner is announced, and each member writes a $100 check directly to the winning charity. The checks are collected and forwarded to the charity in one gift bag. This allows the charity to feel the huge impact that 100 Women Who Care can make… together. At the following meeting, the winning organization tells us how the money was used, and what impact it had on the community and the charity. Our first meeting is Tuesday July 16 from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm at Jewel Restaurant in Melville (on 110 at the LIE). After the meeting we invite you to join us for some socializing and networking. There will be complimentary hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar available. Please visit our website, www.100wwcli.org, to join and nominate your favorite charity online. All charitable organizations must be located in, and serve, Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and must have a 501 (c) (3) non-profit status. We encourage everyone to join the group and nominate their favorite Long Island based charity (no later than July 9) so that the charity will be eligible for voting consideration at our July 16 inaugural meeting. If you require further information, please contact Dawn Carlson at info@100wwcli.org
