Introducing 100 Women of Memorial—a powerhouse collective on a mission to amplify impact in their community. The group meets three times a year, listening to presentations about three local charities and their urgent needs, courtesy of their fellow members.

But this isn't your average get-together. Following the engaging discussions, it's decision time. Votes are cast, and a winning charity emerges. Here's where the magic happens—every member, present or not, cuts a check for $100 to the chosen charity, pooling their resources for a collective donation with a local touch.

At their last meeting, 100 Women of Memorial chose B.I.G. Love Cancer Care as the recipient of their donation. B.I.G. Love Cancer Care is a Houston-based nonprofit that strives to meet the physical, emotional, and financial needs of pediatric oncology and hematology patients and their families. B.I.G. Love reaches over 100,000 patients and their families annually, offering over 12 service-based programs at 10 Texas hospitals.
