Michelle Hale, Co-Founder
When I heard that a friend had started 100 Women Who Care in Uxbridge, I was immediately intrigued. I set up a phone call with one of the co-founders, Andrea Scowcroft, to find out more about the program and how she got involved. I thought of many women right away who would probably love this opportunity to get involved and give back in their own community. It's a simple concept, but very effective. We look forward to helping as many people in Markham as we can!

I was first made aware of 100 Women Who Care from a friend of mine who was involved in the Whitby chapter. When I was invited to come to a meeting with a friend here in Markham, I was excited to join our local chapter already having a sense of all that could be accomplished through this great organization of women working together to give back to our local community. We are so fortunate in our family to be part of a supportive network of extended family and friends and I think it’s important that our girls are exposed to opportunities where we can make a positive impact for those in need. I look forward to working with everyone to continue to expand our impact.

I first heard about 100Women Markham when my friend invited me to attend a meeting. Here, I saw a group of women coming together to connect with one another, and to give back to their community. They do this by helping to fund local organizations and charities working to help the community’s most vulnerable. I love being part of this collective of women, and I am so happy to contribute in any way that I can.

I first heard about 100 Women when I read about the Markham Chapter in the local paper. It sounded like a great way to give back to the community. I love the idea of pooling our donations together in order to have a greater impact on the various organizations. Through 100 Women I have met new friends, been reacquainted with familiar faces, and have learned about charities in the area that I had not known about. It's a meaningful way for us to come together to be a positive, helpful presence in Markham.

Misti Holmes, Co-Founder
As a busy mother of two I was ecstatic when I learned about 100 Women Who Care. I had been looking for a way to get involved in the community, to make a difference, and to teach my children the importance of giving back. 100 Women Who Care allows me to accomplish those things and as an added bonus I get to meet and work with fantastic women from around my very own community.

Melissa Seguin, Co-Founder
While at work one day, I came across a flyer for 100 Women Who Care Stouffville. My co-worker explained to me what it was, and right away I wanted to join. After more contemplation and considering that I live in Markham, I thought it would be better to support the community in which I reside. To my disappointment, the Markham Chapter of 100 Women Who Care did not exist. At that moment, ever a believer in manifestation, I told my husband that I was going to put it out there that I wanted to start the Markham Chapter. About a month later I received a call from Michelle asking if I’d heard of this group…the rest is history. I’m looking forward to giving back to my community in a big way and of course meeting and mingling with other fabulous Markham women who care.

Rachael Streek-Buma, Co-Founder
Rachael has since moved to London, but was integral in getting this group started!
I’m thrilled to be involved with such a great organization where our combined efforts and funds can help strengthen the Markham community and broaden the support network to those in need. Not everyone has the time to volunteer so being a part of 100+ Women Who Care is a great way to give back. The personal rewards received from giving back far outweigh anything else and I am really excited to see what the impact will be not only within our community but within ourselves.
