How we got started

Have you ever felt that the needs in your community are too big for you to make a difference?  We want to help, but many of us think, “Will it matter?” Abby Stancik asked herself that question and decided to find a unique answer.   

Abby recognized how fortunate she was with a loving family and a fulfilling career as a Certified Financial Planner. Yet she wanted to do more to help other people. 

Abby’s goal was to bring together 100 women who could make a positive change in their community.  With a gift of only $100 each quarter of the year, the quarterly impact would be  $10,000 or more.  That’s how 100 Caring Women of Lake County was born. 

Abby drew inspiration from a group she joined while living in Lorain County, Ohio.  It was a giving circle, one of many that exist across the country.  She then realized the difference she could make would be starting a similar giving circle in Lake County.  

The goal is that together, 100 Caring Women of Lake County could have a profound impact on the community.  And the best part?  Different charities will benefit each quarter.  So, here’s YOUR chance to make a big difference and meet other caring women who want to do the same.  Come join us!
