100 MEN WHO CARE NEWS RELEASE
100 Men Who Care – Los Alamos, a group of men dedicated to providing immediate and meaningful financial support to local organizations, will hold its next quarterly event 5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12 at the SALA Event Center.
The event will begin with socializing over food and drinks and will be catered by Muy Salsas. Organized like a “Shark Tank” for nonprofits, the group votes on one of three organizations to support based on short presentations by each. Each group member then writes a check for $100 directly to the winning organization. Through prior events, we have collected more than $17,000 for local nonprofits.
Of the nominated charities, the following three were randomly chosen for consideration at the Dec. 12 event:
- Champions of Youth Ambition
- Friends of Bandelier
- Dance Arts Los Alamos
We will also hear a brief update from our September 2024 event winner, Los Alamos Search and Rescue, who will discuss how their award was implemented.
Los Alamos Children’s Dentistry is our event sponsor, so they cover all venue and food costs, allowing 100% of our donations to go towards charity. We are thankful for their sponsorship of 100 Men Who Care – Los Alamos. A shout-out also to the Los Alamos Community Foundation. They facilitated our post COVID-19 restart and are a continuing partner.
The event is modeled after the successful Los Alamos group for women. The two organizations coordinate event dates and nonprofits eligible to apply in order to “spread the wealth”. For nonprofits who want to be considered, the application with email submittal information is linked.
The 100 Men Who Care – Los Alamos group is open to all interested in participating. Each member commits to contributing $100 once a quarter. In addition, members may nominate their favorite local charity. Although an RSVP is not necessary, you can let us know you are attending by sending email to 100menwhocarelosalamos@gmail.com.
