100+ Women Who Care — Registration Now Open!

This one‑hour, high‑impact event brings women together to raise significant and immediate support for nonprofits addressing real needs in our community.

Since launching our local chapter in 2016, 100+ Women Who Care has raised $171,000 in just 10 hours of gathering together. This incredible impact is thanks to the collective generosity of women who show up, give, and lift up the work happening in Otsego County.
