T8N 100 Men & T8N 100 Women
Part of the 100 Who Care Alliance, the St. Albert chapters are proud to help Albertans, charities and non-profits in the local area reach their fundraising goals. There are four meetings annually (about an hour per meeting). Members commit to donating $100 per meeting. Members also nominate a charity to be the recipient of the collected donations. After the planning committee selects among the nominated charities, those selected organizations will do a short presentation on how the funds would be used. Members then vote and the majority rules. Apply online for T8N 100 Men, or visit the T8N 100 Women’s Facebook page for more information.
