On Jan. 18, 100 Women Who Care of Ogle County heard from six charitable organizations and voted to give $8,000 to Camp Cedar Illinois Inc., a faith-based camp for sexually abused girls aged 7-17. The camp was created four years ago with the mission to empower young survivors of sexual abuse. Their goal is to create a fun, safe and encouraging environment in order to promote healing and personal growth. They offer various activities over the summer totally free to the campers they serve.

100 Women Who Care Ogle County is a group of women who join together to donate to charities within Ogle County. The local chapter is part of 100 Who Care Alliance which is international in scope. Meetings are held on a quarterly basis where a 501 c3 is nominated and voted on to receive $100 from each member. No other fees are required. Membership is growing steadily with currently 80 members. The more women who care the more we can give.
