Our second prize winner, Jill Tefft of Wilmington, won $100 donated to a charity of choice, for which she chose the Good Shepherd Center in Wilmington.

“Last-minute recruit gets Women’s Giving Circle a bonus” (from the Fayetteville Observer)

For the Women's Giving Circle of Fayetteville, one last-minute recruit led to a lot of money.

The group of women who pool their money to help the needy welcomed its 100th member on New Year's Eve. Their reward: a doubling of their available funds through the Cumberland Community Foundation.
