What happens when 100 women walk into a room with $100 and a mission? A ripple effect of kindness that raises hundreds of thousands for local charities.
Lutzer sits down with Terri Perrin and Samantha Lethbridge to spotlight 100 Women Who Care Foothills, a local giving circle that has donated nearly $300,000 to grassroots causes over the past decade.
Terri unpacks the origins of the giving circle model, how charities are nominated and chosen, and how the group maintains integrity and transparency in its process.
Samantha shares her personal journey from cancer survivor to charity leader with Opening Gaits that became a 100 Women donation recipient—and found its permanent home thanks to a new connection made at a meeting.
From stories of service dogs and menstrual kits to heartfelt testimonials and community networking, this episode captures the power of collective giving and the ripple effects of generosity.
