FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Royal Canadian Legion in Fort St. John was the big winner at the latest 100 Women Who Care event.

The legion’s Branch 102 received $10,100 at the 11th edition of the event, held on Tuesday, September 23rd at the Lido Theatre.

The money received will go toward maintenance and costs for the facility, so the legion can “continue offering services to the community and assisting citizens in need,” according to a press release.

Others who made pitches for donations included the Fort St. John Literacy Society in order to continue its programs, and the Fort St. John and Area Senior’s Care Foundation, who sought donations to provide support for the area’s senior citizens.

The attendees each contributed $100 for a ticket, with the proceeds of those participating forming the total up for grabs.

Each group was given seven minutes to present its history and a pitch as to how they would use the money, prior to the audience casting votes to decide where the money would go.

A statement from the event’s organizing committee says it is proud “the way the community shows up for each other.”

Nominations are open for the next 100 Women Who Care event, scheduled to take place on March 10th, 2026 at the Lido Theatre.

The 100 Women Who Care movement began in 2006 in the United States, coming to Fort St. John in 2017.

Since the first event in the North Peace, the events have raised $188,230 combined for non-profits and community organizations.
