From staff reports
100 Women Who Care Beaufort started the year off right with their first-quarter meeting in early January. Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort, was the lucky recipient of more than $13,000.
Alzheimer Family Services provides social day programs for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. The programs are therapeutic for the patients and give extra hours of respite for caregivers. They also sponsor caregiver support groups and in-home respite care.
In the eight years since 100 Women Who Care was formed in Beaufort, the organization has donated more than $400,00 to local charities. Three non-Profits make their appeal to the group each quarter. The ladies in attendance vote, and each woman writes a check for $100 to the winner. It’s as simple as that.
