“100+ Women who Care from the 618 may still be a relatively new organization, but they are doing good throughout our region with their fundraising efforts and generosity,” said Interim Executive Director Sandra Ferris. “We’re honored to be one of the local non-profits that have been nominated and approved for their Impact Award program to date.”
100+ Women Who Care was founded in November 2006 by Karen Dunigan of Jackson, Michigan, as a simple way to raise money efficiently and quickly for local charities. Local chapters of this organization have been forming all over North America.
Based in Edwardsville, Illinois, 100+ Women Who Care from the 618 was founded in the summer of 2019 by Denise Arendell and several of her closest friends and community allies. Their mission is to use the power of collective giving to make a big difference in our very own community…throughout the 618 area code.
Amy Bamper has never worked at Beverly Farm, nor does she have any relatives living here. She does however have a family member who is on the Autism spectrum, and Amy toured Beverly Farm prior to the start of the pandemic. Having seen our facilities and operations, she appreciates the value Beverly Farm and our day program and residential program provides for the community at large and more specifically for the adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families who need the vital services Beverly Farm provides.
