Hi friends, Welcome back, and happy new year! We hope you had time to rest, reflect, and recharge over the holidays. As we step into a new year together, we’re energized by what’s ahead and excited for many opportunities to connect in the upcoming months! A quick recap of updates and news from us: - We announced last month that our 2026 grantee is Commonsense Childbirth, Inc.! This grant was voted on by our members and approved by the Central Florida Foundation Board of Directors in December.
- We're in our celebratory era! We are gearing up for our annual Grant Celebration taking place on Tuesday, February 10th, where our 2026 grantee will share more about the program our grant is supporting and our 2025 grantee, Nemours Children's Health, will give a brief update on the scaling of its Sources of Strength teen suicide prevention program.
- As usual, our monthly breakfasts were on hiatus in the busy months of November and December, but we're back this month with a new breakfast schedule! Lake Nona will be meeting up on the second Friday of every month (that's this Friday, 1/9!) and Winter Park will remain on the last Friday of every month (that's Friday, 1/30!).
- Save the Date: Our annual Elevate Summit is taking place on Wednesday, 4/22, this year! More details to follow.
See below for more details on our Grant Celebration and our monthly breakfasts below. We hope this year is one of continued impact and connection, championing female philanthropy and informed community investment. We are so grateful that you are here! Warmly,
The 100 Women Strong Team |
