100+ Women Who Care Sanibel-Captiva Grows to 175 Members, Awards $20,000 Donation to CROW 

The Sanibel Captiva Chapter of 100+ Women Who Care (Sancap100.org) celebrated a milestone at its March 10 meeting, announcing membership has grown to more than 175 women. 

More than 80 members gathered in person and on Zoom to hear presentations from three local nonprofits: Deborah Larson for the Sanibel Music Festival, Clair Beckmann for the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum & Aquarium, and Corrie Presland-Byrne for CROW (Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife). 

Following the vote, CROW was selected to receive the primary donation. Wave Makers Jane Majeski and Pam Browning announced the award will total more than $20,000. Thanks to the generosity of anonymous donors, the additional presenting nonprofits will also receive a donation to support their important work. 

Members also heard an update from the Children’s Education Center of the Islands (CECI) on the impact of last year’s $12,600 donation, along with a $5,000 grant from the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation; the funding supported the installation of a No-See-Um insect misting system, helping create a safer and more comfortable outdoor environment for the children and staff. 

It was a wonderful morning celebrating generosity, impact, and the power of women coming together to support local nonprofits. 

The next meeting is April 7. We welcome new members and hope to see you there for another inspiring morning of giving and community impact. 

A special thank you to our season sponsor, Florida Trust Wealth Management.
