A Message from Our President, Christine Hull
During the ceremony, Christine Hull, Founder and President of 100 Women Who Care Mississauga, delivered these heartfelt remarks:
“On behalf of the members, sponsors, and the incredible Steering Team at 100 Women Who Care Mississauga, I want to say how truly honoured and grateful we are to receive the Sam McCallion Community Involvement Award.
When I started this chapter four years ago, I never imagined the ripple effect it would create — nearly $150,000 donated to local charities, all through one-hour meetings, collective giving, and the incredible power of community.
This award belongs to every woman who has stepped up, shown up, and given back. To our sponsors — thank you for fueling our mission. To our Steering Team — thank you for your passion and dedication. And to our members — thank you for believing in the impact we can make, together.
We are proud to carry this legacy forward — with passion, purpose, and progress.”
Looking Ahead
This milestone isn’t just a celebration of what we’ve accomplished—it’s a reminder of what we’re capable of when we work together. The award belongs to every member who has donated, every sponsor who believed in us, and every charity partner who inspires us to keep going.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, we’re making a lasting impact in Mississauga—one Giving Circle at a time.
