Tom Flanigan reports the &#8220;One-Hundred-Women-Who-Care&#8221; will meet to celebrate a contribution total that runs into hundreds-of-thousands-of dollars.  Until her 2017 retirement, Virginia Glass&#8217;s day job was in the real estate field. But even then she was a fixture on multiple non-profit boards, helping to raise funds for all manner of worthy causes. If that wasn&#8217;t enough, she decided to start a new fund-raising organization several years ago. Right as the COVID crisis was getting underway.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had to meet via Zoom. We had 65 members at our first meeting in November of 2020. We are now at 264 members and it&#8217;s just incredible the response we&#8217;ve had from the women in our community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Especially since Glass&#8217;s group is called &#8220;100 Women Who Care.&#8221; Obviously they&#8217;ve topped that number. And speaking of numbers, Glass will have a very impressive number to share at 5 o&#8217;clock this Thursday during the group&#8217;s quarterly meeting at St. Paul&#8217;s Methodist Church.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The meeting that we have on Thursday of this week, the total that will come in from that, we&#8217;ll put us right at $608,000 that we have given back to mostly invisible non-profits that are doing good work in our community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She says that meeting will also be essentially an audition as some new human services groups make funding pitches for the next round of donations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our non-profits that will present to us: Family Promise Big Bend.org, Rethink Energy Florida.org and a relatively new non-profit called Metavisions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the 100 Women Who Care keeps growing. Glass says this week&#8217;s meeting will also include some guests from an organization that hers&#8217; inspired. It&#8217;s called &#8220;100 Men Who Care.&#8221; <\/p>\n<div class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2026 WFSU<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[1136,1135],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
