On January 29th, 100 Women Who Care Mississauga hosted its First Annual Sponsor Appreciation Event—a special evening dedicated to recognizing the generous sponsors who have played a crucial role in the success of the organization. Held at Amica Erin Mills, the event was an opportunity to express heartfelt gratitude and celebrate the impact that sponsorship has made in the community.
A Night of Appreciation
The event kicked off with a warm welcome, setting the tone for an evening centered around recognition, gratitude, and connection. Sponsors, Steering Team members, and special guests gathered to reflect on the collective achievements made possible through their support.
Sponsorship is about more than financial contributions—it’s about believing in the power of community and coming together to create meaningful change. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, 100 Women Who Care Mississauga has been able to expand its reach, increase its impact, and provide much-needed support to local charities.
A Special Thanks
The organization extended a heartfelt thank you to Amica Erin Mills, represented by Sonia Ohja, Director of Community Relations, for hosting the evening in a beautiful setting with delicious appetizers, excellent service, and generous door prizes.
A special shout-out also went to Councillor Matt Mahoney (Ward 8), who is a member of the Peel Police Services Board—one of our 2024 Title Sponsors. His presence reinforced the strong partnership between the organization and the community.
Honouring Our Sponsors
As attendees looked around the room at the large donation cheques, it was clear that each amount represented more than just numbers—it told a story of generosity, impact, and hope. Without the support of these sponsors, none of this would have been possible.
