In November 2006, the inspiring Karen Dunigan of Jackson, Michigan, launched '100 WOMEN WHO CARE.' Her genius idea? Gather 100 passionate women and, in just one hour, make a massive impact. At their inaugural meeting, each member penned a $100 check, amassing a staggering $10,000—enough to provide 300 baby cribs for a local charity. Today, this spark of an idea has ignited a movement, with the group boasting over 200 members and inspiring chapters worldwide, all united under one mission.
