100 Men of Kawartha Lakes

100 Men Dec 2025 cheque presentation to Kawartha Haliburton Children's FoundationCongratulations to the Kawartha Haliburton  Children’s Foundation as our charity of choice!

Well!! That was a night to remember! We arrived at 5:30 at the Lindsay Ag Society building with beverages pre-meeting, dinner supplied by Kawartha Wholesale Bakery A HUGE TURNOUT of BIG HEARTED men!
At 7:00 pm we welcomed our new Members to bring our total to 170! (Just 30 more to reach 200!)
The Heritage Christian School reported on their progress using their last meeting donation to create a special sensory room for children that need a calming area and how it has already helped several children.
We heard from three charities and learned what they do! Kawartha Lakes Pregnancy Centre , Canadian Council of the Blind Peterborough Chapter  and Kawartha, Haliburton Children’s Foundation
Since we are at 170 members now, Kawartha Haliburton Children’s Foundation will receive $12,000, while the others receive $2,500!

Who Are the 100 Men?

The 100 Men are simply a mix of big-hearted guys connected by their love of the community. They like the idea of their money being matched by others to make a bigger impact. They like simple and effortless, not to mention hanging out for one hour every three months with some great guys that live in Kawartha Lakes.

Is 100 Men of Kawartha Lakes for you?

Whether you’re a business person, elected official, working for a company or retired, if the above sounds like you, we’d love for you to join us!

And yes, we know, it’s only men. It was actually the women that started their own 100 Women that Care group and told us men to start our own…so we did!

How it Works

As a member, you commit to donating $102 per meeting, with 4 meetings held annually on the first Thursday of March, June, September, and December—each lasting just 1 hour. If you’re unable to attend, no worries—you can still participate by submitting a proxy vote!
Many members love that they can be part of the group’s collective giving, even if they can’t attend every meeting.

We’ve partnered with the Kawartha Lakes Community Foundation to manage donations, making tax receipt distribution easier for our charities. Members can donate conveniently via e-transfer, credit card, cheque, or cash—and you can even donate for the entire year at once!

Each member can nominate a local registered Kawartha Lakes charity for consideration. Before each meeting, three charities will be randomly selected to make a 5-minute presentation to the group.
Afterward, members will vote for one of the three. The charity with the most votes will receive the bulk of our donations.

Exciting update: When we have more than 150 members, the primary charity receives $10,000 while the other two charities will receive $2,500 each.

Our membership is unlimited, and we’re thrilled to have over 160 members and counting!
