HISTORY OF THE 100 WHO CARE MOVEMENT
The 100 Who Care concept started with Karen Dunigan out of Jackson, MI. needing to fulfill a fundraising goal of $10,000 for new baby cribs to help mothers in need. She came up with the idea to call 100 people to donate $100 each. After a few phone calls and an immediate meeting, in one hour she raised $12,800 in donations to supply these mothers in need with a new crib. That is how the idea was born!
