The Prince Edward Island chapter of 100 Women Who Care made a major donation to the ALS Society of P.E.I. at an event in Charlottetown Tuesday night.

Four times a year the group of 100 or more women cometogether to hear pitches from nominated charities or non-profit groups. At the meeting the women each commit to a $100 donation and choose a charity to receive the funds.
