Impact 100 Announces Two 2012 Grant Awards 

  

Impact 100, a group of philanthropically minded women in Cincinnati who collectively fund major grants, selected their 2012 grant recipients at a check presentation event at the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center in Covington, KY on September 20th. Mercy Neighborhood Ministries and CancerFree Kids will each receive $107,500.

Mercy Neighborhood Ministries will use the Impact 100 grant to double the capacity of their Home Health Aide Training program, while CancerFree Kids will use their grant to construct a Pet Visiting Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.  The Pet Center, where families can bring their pets to interact with an ill child, will be available to all children who have long-term stays at the hospital.  The grant will also fund research to quantify the benefits of pet visits with patients.

   CancerFreeKids

Since its Cincinnati founding, Impact 100 has chapters in 14 other U.S. cities.  Together, the organizations have awarded over $15 million in grants.  New chapters continue to be introduced in the U.S., and the first international chapter is slated to begin operations in 2013.  To join and vote for grant recipients in 2013, go to impact100.org.

Women Artists Turn Up the Heat

The "women of a certain age" are back at it. For the third year, a dozen female artists in Indianapolis, IN are presenting an exhibition that looks at the artists' self-image. "Women of a Certain Age: On Fire!" will feature 2D and 3D work of metal, paint on canvas, woodcut prints on paper and encaustic.

In addition to the traditional cheese and wine, the opening reception on Oct. 5 will feature two female fire performers and elaborate d�cor, as well as several artists talking at 7 p.m. about their work and their life experiences.

October 2011.  Participating artists are:  Leigh Dunnington-Jones, Carol Myers, Jane Knight, JanettMarie, Julia Wickes, Julie Perigo, Terry McClatchie, Martha Lindenborg Vaught, and Vicky Shaffer White, and Susan Hazer

Proceeds from the sale of a limited edition print by Bonnie Fillenwarth will benefit the Pink Ribbon Connection, a local organization that supports women with breast cancer.
