August 16, 2018 - The 50 Women of Impact group chose to donate funds raised from its fourth quarter meeting to Boo's Battle Support Fund bringing the total donations to over $40,000. The presentation check says $7,000 plus only because that was the money collected at the time of the meeting but once all the women have made their contribution the total donation to Boo's Battle Support Fund will be $10,000 plus!
Boo's Battle Support Fund was started by the family of Brandi Mills who was diagnosed in February of 2015 with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer at the age of 28. They named the non-profit organization they started after Brandi's nickname 'Boo.' All funds raised go to help anyone fighting any type of cancer. With proof of treatment, the organization will help with everyday bills, wigs, travel, etc. According to Boo's Battle Support Fund Facebook page, "When we had her big fundraiser she chose to give to others who were currently fighting cancer so we want to continue her idea and help others in their battle!" For contact information about this organization or to donate, visit https://www.facebook.com/boosbattle/
The 50 Women of Impact group organized and held their first meeting in November of 2017 with the hopes of getting 50 women to give $100 each quarter for a combined contribution to an elected organization. The first meeting surpassed the 50 women with 94 inaugural members. Today there are over 100 women who have joined the cause with more seeking to join. They have met once a quarter since then donating funds to the Shelby County Welfare Board; AgriLife Extension, Shelby Family Consumer Science program; Fannie Brown Booth Memorial Library; and now Boo's Battle Support Fund.
