Nominated Charity

Each year the Highland Business Women Club vote to select a nominated charity for the year.

Throughout the HBWC year (1 April - 31 March), the members raise funds for the nominated charity through events, raffles and sponsorship. The committee members organise a raffle at each monthly club meeting and the club's Annual Awards Dinner also raises substantial monies for the nominated charity.

The nominated charity for 2008-2009 is Maggies Highland Cancer Caring Centre.

In 2007 we raised and amount of £4,500 for the four Womens Aid Groups in the Highlands, and at the June 2008 meeting a cheque for £5,000 was presented to last year's nominated charity: the Highland Homeless Trust, a Homeless Services provider currently providing housing support to vulnerable adults who have experienced or are at risk of homelessness. 

We hope we will do as well for our nominated charity for this year!

Thank you to all members, guests, speakers and sponsors who contribute so generously to our fundraising for the HBWC nominated charity.  

 Here are the ways you can contribute to the nominated charity fund this year: 

1.  Attend the HBWC monthly meeting and buy a raffle ticket.
2.  Donate a prize to the monthly raffle.
3.  Sponsor a 'special raffle prize' at the club's Annual Dinner in March.
4.  Send a cheque made payable to "HBWC" - write 'Nominated Charity Donation" on reverse of cheque.
