Kim Tarnopolski with 100+ Women Who Care and Paula Boca-Bommarito with CopperPoint E27
100+ Women Who Care Valley of the Sun is an Arizona giving circle of women who love to GIVE. The Valley of the Sun chapter and its giving circles are run by an Executive Committee of big-hearted volunteers along with the assistance of some very generous sponsors. 100% of their members’ donations go directly to the local charities selected at their quarterly giving circles. The goal of the group is to support the wonderful work that their local charities do in funds, exposure and awareness in a minimal amount of time.
A Big Impact
100+ women x $100 = $10,000+ for a local charity in 1 hour – 4 times per year (quarterly). They currently have three (3) groups meeting throughout the Phoenix metro area – Ahwatukee, Scottsdale and East Valley. Their members come from all over the Phoenix metro area to participate. Their goal as a chapter is to donate $500,000 in five (5) years to local nonprofit organizations. To date, they have donated over $440,000.
Kim Tarnopolski is the Chief Community Builder and driving force behind 100+ Women Who Care Valley of the Sun. Kim is a community steward who has made a Valleywide impact to better the lives and opportunities for others. She is selfless in giving to the causes she believes in and she’ll take a stand for those who cannot. She donates with her energy, her talent, her dollars and her time.
Kim started her career in corporate America before moving into entrepreneurship to run her own business – a human resources consulting firm. The two decades of business experience gave her the opportunity to hone her skills in communication, performance and business management, facilitation, coaching, conflict management and event planning.
