One Hundred Women Who Care Thompson played Santa Claus for a lucky local group last week at their December meeting.

Special Olympics Thompson was the recipient of the funds, with the money going toward enhancing participation in alpine skiing for their athletes.

Marlene Enberg with Special Olympics Thompson indicated current participants in alpine skiing are under the age of 18, but the program would be available to adults with intellectual disabilities if there is demand.

Funding from 100 Women Who Care will allow them  to purchase alpine ski equipment and keep it in an equipment library that could be used every year by youth who register for the skiing programs.

All charities in Thompson are invited to go to 100womenthompson.com and go to FORMS, if you are interested in being a funding recipient at one of their meetings in 2026.
