100 MEN WHO CARE NEWS RELEASE

Los Alamos 100 Men Who Care selected Family Strengths Network (FSN) as the recipient of their June 2025 giving award. The group meets quarterly for a 30-minute social with simple food and drink, and to hear three pre-selected organizations make five-minute presentations. The group then votes on the organizations, and each member writes a check for $100 to the winner.

In addition to FSN, the group heard from Los Alamos Visiting Nurses and LA Cares. Twenty-six people attended the event on June 12, that was held at the SALA Event Center and catered by Muy Salsa’s. The voting resulted in a tie between LA Cares and FSN, and a coin toss decided FSN as the winner.  Members donated $2600 to FSN, with some members writing second checks totaling $500 to LA Cares due to the tied voting results.

We also heard an update from our March 13 event winner, Dance Arts Los Alamos.  They have used their award to fund scholarships for their adaptive and male dance programs.  The adaptive program allows special needs dancers to learn about self-expression through movement while acquiring knowledge on communication, teamwork, creative problem-solving skills, and leadership through the art of dance.  
  
The venue and catering were sponsored by Los Alamos Children’s Dentistry with administrative support from the Los Alamos Community Foundation. This sponsorship allows one hundred percent of 100 MWC donations to go to the non-profit organization.
