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 be holding its next quarterly event 5:30- 7 p.m. Thursday, March 13 at the SALA Event Center. If you’d like to help make a difference in our community please join us.
The meeting will be held in SALA’s new venue, The Hill, and will begin with socializing over food and drinks. Pi-239 Pizzeria will cater the event. 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 over $20,000 for local nonprofits. Of the nominated charities, the following three were randomly chosen for consideration at the March 13 event:
Del Norte LOV Foundation
Dance Arts Los Alamos
League of Women Voters
We will also hear a brief update from our December 2024 event winner, Champions of Youth Ambitions, 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.
