100 Women In 100 Days
When we started out, we didn't know whether the goal of IWIN's 100 Women In 100 Days campaign was too big. But what we did know is how supportive and loving our community is.
In the end, 212 donors ensured that 100 Women In 100 Days ended successfully. A total of $51,810 was raised bringing vital transportation, meals and childcare services to 130 Indiana women and their families this year. We are so very thankful!
Our gratitude goes out to all of you for being a part of our community of supporters. You inspire and strengthen IWIN patients every single day.
A special thank you to Bright Ideas in Broad Ripple, Inc., Bev Middaugh, Weybright Insurance Network, and Weybright Premier Student Housing who generously gave $10,000 in sponsorship to make this campaign happen.

From Our Founder
"My dedication to the fight against breast cancer began several years ago with the diagnosis of breast cancer to a very good friend. It was at that time that I realized the impact treatment had on a woman. Due to the fatiguing nature of chemotherapy and the physical limitations of surgery, I recognized that even the simple things in life now became stressors, such as lifting their child and cleaning the house."
- Nancy Shepard, R.N
