100+ Who Care History
It all stated with a need in 2006 in Jackson, Michigan. Karen Dunigan a member of the executive leadership for the Center for Family Health learned that new mothers needed portable cribs. Mothers were bringing their babies home and placing the sleeping infants in boxes, dresser drawers or on their own beds because they could not afford a proper crib. Some of these babies didn’t survive the night. Karen was presented with a list of how many cribs were needed; mattresses, blankets and beds. In all, a total of $10,000 was needed.
​
Karen thought there had to be a way to quickly and easily meet the financial request. Karen knew of ten people she could call and ask them to write $1,000 checks, but she also figured she knew 100 women who would each give $100. At that first meeting, in one hour, a group of Karen’s friends heard the story and each wrote checks to the Center for Family Health, resulting in a $12,800 donations.
Karen recognized that she was on to something special. She founded the first 100+ Women Who Care and scheduled quarterly meetings. The rules were simple, any member could present a need in the community, the need had to be immediate and the money had to remain local. The idea was that a worthy cause benefits many in the community.
