Community, Connection, and Collective Impact in Mississauga

On March 11, 2026, members of 100 Women Who Care Mississauga gathered for an inspiring evening of connection, generosity, and local impact at the Art Gallery of Mississauga.

Set against the backdrop of a vibrant and creative space, the evening brought together women from across the community with one shared purpose — to give collectively and make a meaningful difference right here in Mississauga.

Three Local Charities. One Powerful Decision.

A defining part of every Giving Circle is hearing directly from the charities.

This month, we were honoured to welcome presentations from:

Each organization shared powerful stories of the people they serve and the impact they are making in our community. These moments are always a reminder that behind every cause are real lives being supported, strengthened, and uplifted.

After thoughtful consideration, members cast their votes.

The charity selected to receive the collective donation was ErinoakKids.

By the Numbers

  • $15,658 raised in one evening
  • Largest collective donation to date
  • 100+ women in attendance
  • 3 local charities supported and amplified

This is the power of collective giving.

Where the Funds Are Going

Funds raised will support ErinoakKids’ iCan Bike Program — an incredible initiative that teaches children with disabilities how to ride a two-wheeled bicycle.
Through adapted bikes and specialized instruction, children build confidence, independence, and lifelong skills — while families experience moments of joy, pride, and possibility.

This is more than a program. It’s life-changing.

More Than a Donation

While the impact of the funds is significant, what makes these evenings truly special goes beyond the numbers.

It’s the conversations before and after the presentations.
It’s the connections formed between members.
It’s the shared understanding that every single person in the room is contributing to something bigger than themselves.

When women come together with intention and generosity, incredible things happen.
