100 Women Who Care of Pinellas County presented The Pineapple Projects with a donation of $10,000 on December 28, 2020. The Pineapple Projects’ goal is to extend a hand to people in need by turning their houses into homes by providing essential furnishings. With gently used donations and thoughtful interior design, they transform empty homes into spaces to be proud of. Go to www.thepineappleprojects.org to learn more or to nominate a family.
100 Women Who Care of Pinellas County is a philanthropic group that provides an avenue for women to join together to bring financial support to local, charitable organizations that have a 501(c)(3) status. Members commit to attending four meetings per year (one per quarter) and pledge to donate $100 to an elected charity at each meeting. The members have the opportunity to nominate any organization, three of the nominated organizations are then randomly selected to give a 5-minute presentation, a vote is taken, and then checks are written directly to the winning charity. Since February of 2013, the group has given $296,150 to local charities. The next meeting (with options of both Zoom and live) will be 7:00-8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 16, at Cove Cay Golf Club, located at 2612 Cove Cay Drive in Clearwater. There is a social time from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at the Cove Cay restaurant, where drinks and snacks may be purchased. Contact Brenda George at 727-515-1868 for more information.
