100 Men of Scugog

January 25 2025 cheque presentation to Million Dollar SmilesTEN YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

100 Men Scugog celebrated our 10th anniversary recently at our January meeting back where it all began at Old Flame Brewing Co. 10 years of meetings and donations and over $200,000 raised for Charities serving our community. 

A wonderful night of celebration and giving was highlighted by some fond memories and laughter from original founder Richard Gauder and some very kind words and a presentation from Scugog Mayor Wilma Wotten. The group continues to grow. With 15 new members joining for this meeting, $5300 was on the line for the winning charity.  3 deserving charities were drawn and had the opportunity to present at this meeting:

Community Care Durham – This is a multi-service organization providing a broad range of support services for individuals over the age of 16 and their caregivers so that people are enabled to maximize their independence and thrive where they choose to live.

Port Perry Walk for Dog Guides – This charity supports the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, which empowers individuals with disabilities by providing specially trained dog guides.

Million Dollar Smiles – Through various programs, this organization brings smiles & light to children & families facing special needs or the diagnosis of serious illness.

After 3 great presentations and member voting, the group selected Million Dollar Smiles, and they were awarded the $5300 donation from the evening

After an inspiring evening with many new members, we are looking forward to the groups continual growth and are always looking for new folks to join in the fun. Really, what could be better than meeting 4 times a year and making donations that change lives like this

Join us at our next meeting Wednesday April 16th at the Port Perry Legion. Sign in at 6:30 PM and meeting gets under way at 7:00 PM sharp.  You’ll be glad you did. 

Let’s keep building momentum and making a difference!

How it works in a nutshell

We gather for just one hour. At each meeting, we listen to 3 local charities who present for 5 minutes and answer questions for 2. The guys secretly choose one and write a $100 cheque (per person) to the selected organization. No committees, no bank account, no fees.

If you:

  • are committed to helping others in our community, are stretched for time, but you can spare 4 hours per year
  • want to be part of a powerful group of local men making an immediate, direct and positive effect on the lives of our neighbours. Where else can you get your $100 matched by 99 other big hearted friends?
  • want 100% of your donations to go directly to local charity
  • want to learn more about the many worthy community service programs and organizations servicing Scugog

Join us and become “One” of the 100 Men of Scugog!
