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 to 7 p.m. Thursday, December 11, at the SALA Event Center. 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 $33,000 for local nonprofits. If you’d like to help make a difference in our community please join us.

AN AIRPLANE FLIGHT over northern New Mexico will be the randomly drawn door prize for the event. Veteran pilot Robert Gibson will host one or two people on an approximately one-hour sightseeing flight to enjoy spectacular aerial views of Los Alamos, the Taos Gorge, Valles Caldera and Ski Hill, or other points of interest to the winner.

The meeting will be held in SALA’s banquet style venue and will begin with socializing over food and drinks. Yuan’s Dumpling and Noodle House will cater for the event. Of the nominated charities, the following three were randomly chosen for consideration at the event:

Los Alamos Arts Council
First Born Program of Los Alamos
League of Women Voters

We will also hear a brief update from our September 11 event winner, LA Cares, 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. We would also like to give a shout out to the Los Alamos Community Foundation, who provide administrative support to 100 MWC Los Alamos.

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.
