Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world.

It is the only thing that ever has. –Margaret Meade

The Circle of 100 brings like-minded individuals together who understand and firmly believe in the philosophy of Margaret Meade. Whether an entire world or just one child needs immediate healthcare, we as a “circle” believe in changing a world perspective by using our financial support, our time and our voices.  A circle symbolizes strength and continuity.  It is an unyielding entity, complete and whole.  Paradoxically, for a community to be self-sufficient, it must rely on individual talents and gifts.

Children’s Volunteer Health Network relies on that belief.  The original Circle of 100 provided initial grassroots funding, enabling the launch of this non-profit in 2005.  Many said it could not be done… but many said it could; and, today we have helped over 500 children get the healthcare they need by facilitating over 1900 appointments through our volunteer network.

It is a time for your recommitment and new commitments.  As the economy slows, the needs grow.  This past year marked the beginning of our Mobile Dental Clinic program, Just for Grins.  During the 2008-2009 school year, Just for Grins provided dental exams, cleanings and sealants to over 700 children.  This school year, almost 1,000 children have been seen on the MDC so far. We need your involvement to continue changing the world for these children.

Times are difficult for many.  We all seem stretched.  However, with each pledge, we have enlarged our circle and the opportunity to make a difference.

Join the Circle

Please consider joining the Circle of 100, or renewing your commitment.  Circle memberships are available for $1000 annually, paid monthly, quarterly, or as a lump sum.  You are the mainstay that keeps us going forward.  We thank you on behalf of the children we serve.

“I think the great livers, the people who are fully self actualizing and alive, are the great givers”
