In the last three decades, one group of women in Broward County has raised more than $3.6 million to support local charities dedicated to fighting cancer. The 1000+ Club to Benefit Cancer also brings together all types of nonprofits each April for an elegant “Women of the Year” fundraising luncheon. Listen to one of the 2012 co-chairs, Julie Osinski, talk about the event and examples of projects the organization has funded. Also on the show is Merrill Thomas, a 2012 honoree and 1000+ Club executive board member. Each year, the Club selects 13 nonprofits to recognize at the luncheon. These groups, in turn, select a “Woman of the Year” from their donor/volunteer ranks. Merrill was chosen by Cystic Fibrosis.
