CAMAS — Members of 100 Women Who Care Clark County presented $5,100 to Girls on the Run Greater Oregon on Feb. 7 at their first meeting of 2024 held at Salud! Wine Bar in Camas. Olivia Katbi, development director, accepted the funds on behalf of the organization. The local giving circle selected Girls on the Run at its August meeting. The Camas Farmers Market and Friends and Foundation of the Camas Library were the other nonprofit nominees.
Girls on the Run provides fun, evidence-based programs that inspire girls to increase their level of physical activity, imagine their possibilities, and confidently stand up for themselves and others. It serves Oregon and Southwest Washington.
Founded in 2018, 100 Women Who Care Clark County is a giving circle that meets four times a year and has donated close to $100,000 to local nonprofits since its inception. Members who attend are eligible to nominate local nonprofits to be considered for the group’s donation. Members commit to a quarterly $100 donation to the charity, which is voted upon by the members at each meeting.
