RAISE $10,000 FOR LOCAL CHARITIES IN 2 HOURS!
WHO WE ARE
100 Guys Who Care Evansville is a group of 100+ guys on a mission to improve our community by donating to local charities and non-profits. We are a “non-organization” that has no board of directors, no tax ID, and no bank account. None of the money runs through us, it all goes directly to the charities.
HOW IT WORKS
The concept behind 100 Guys Who Care Evansville is simple. We meet four times a year, and members commit to donating $100 to at each of those meetings. 100 guys x $100 = $10,000 to 4 local charities each year.
Each quarter, we will send an email to members asking for nominations. After we receive the nominations, members will vote for one charity and the three charities with the most votes will be invited to present at the quarterly meeting.
The first hour of the meeting is optional and an opportunity for networking and socializing with fellow members. During the second hour, we will listen to a ten-minute presentation from each of the nominated charities. The charities will explain who they are, what they do, and how they would use the donation money.
After the presentations, each member will vote and write a $100 check to the winning charity. That charity will be invited back to the next meeting to let us know how our donations have helped.
We also host social events between our quarterly meetings to spread the word about what we do and spend time with like-minded guys.
