The SRWC Power of 100+ Program
The Sunriver Women’s Club Power of 100 program was initiated in September 2018 as a way for club members and members of the community to make a larger contribution to a specific need in the community.  In its first year, the SRWC’s Power of 100 Program funded two projects at $10,000 each.  We are currently in the fact-finding and assessment stage with schools and other partners to gather information about a new signature project focused on educational needs of local students.
