We are a charitable social club which utilizes group philanthropy for a greater collective impact in our community. Our slogan: Charity, Community, Camaraderie.

We are a charitable social club which utilizes group philanthropy for a greater collective impact supporting local charities to build brighter futures in Southern Georgian Bay. Four times each year, we get together and hear five-minute presentations from three local charities. Then each of our members casts a vote for the charity/project they are most interested in. The charitable project with the most votes wins a group donation of $100 from each member for a total gift of $10,000+. Your money goes directly to the charity — our organization has no costs and no overhead. The charities get 100 per cent of the donations made and they issue tax receipts directly to you. Our goal is to bring together men of all ages and backgrounds who want to give back to their community. We're also about socializing, networking, and having fun while being generous. Please come out to a meeting and see what we're all about. Check out the "next meeting" or "Events" page for more information and fill out the form below if you'd like to be added to the mailing list.

Thanks to all of you that have donated! For those who have not, can you please make your donation. Below is what was sent out after the last meeting. THANKS!

Wow, Thanks to everyone who participated in last night’s Celebration meeting and made the meeting a huge success. We had an amazing 68 Members who participated either in person or virtually. This was the best attended meeting in a long time with a large number of members and guests and a number of them becoming members during the meeting. Of course we would love to see more members come out to these meetings as your participation is important to the presenters

The three Charity presentations were very informative and it was clear that all were deserving of our support. Ultimately, Busby Centre South Georgian Bay, Collingwood, nominated by Dan Watkin, was selected by the voting Members as the charity to which 100 Men Who Care SGB Members will send their $104 donation (remember, $100 for the Charity and $4 for the administration fee charged by CanadaHelps).

Donations are to be sent through CanadaHelps. Below is the link to the appropriate page within CanadaHelps. Please use this link as it takes you directly to the 100 Men Who Care SGB page within CanadaHelps which has the nominated Charity already populated on the page.

Collingwood, Ontario – July, 2026. At its June 3, 2026 meeting, 100 Men Who Care Southern Georgian Bay chose to support Beaver Valley Outreach by donating $13,366.
Beaver Valley Outreach (“BVO”) is a charitable organization located in Thornbury serving the Town of the Blue Mountains community. BVO began over 43 years ago, having been started by a group of women who collected winter clothing for donation. While maintaining its grass-roots values, it has grown into an organization that, through its small staff and more than 150 volunteers, offers a multitude of programs and services that support Blue Mountain residents at all ages and stages of life – from newborn to youth to seniors. BVO’s mission is to provide quality programs and services that support the social, economic, and environmental well-being of the Blue Mountain community.
Funding support from 100 Men Who Care Southern Georgian Bay will go directly to support BVO’s Emergency Services, Food Cubby and Holiday Hamper programs. The Emergency Services and Food Cubby programs allow BVO to support some 35-45 households each month to meet their most basic needs for food and other necessities. The Holiday Hamper program provides food, gifts and gift cards to help make the holiday season brighter for families in the Town of the Blue Mountains; in December 2025, BVO provided hampers to 116 Blue Mountain households.
“We are greatly appreciative of the support through 100 Men Who Care Southern Georgian Bay. Their generosity will help us with maintaining and potentially expanding our Emergency Services, Food Cubby and Holiday Hamper programs”, said Lynn Keays, BVO Board Chair.
“We are pleased to recognize the great support that BVO provides to our Southern Georgian Bay Community and with this financial donation, support them in helping those individuals and families in our community who struggle with food insecurity and an opportunity to celebrate during the holiday season .”
Ian Campbell, Leadership Team Member, 100 Men Who Care Southern Georgian Bay.

Collingwood, Ontario – May 26, 2026. At its March 4, 2026 meeting, 100 Men Who Care Southern Georgian Bay chose to support Georgian Bay Cancer Support Centre by donating $13,843.
Georgian Bay Cancer Support Centre (GBCSC) is a non-profit agency operating in North Simcoe, parts of Springwater Township, and Southern Georgian Bay. GBCSC offers a wide range of evidence-based programs designed to support the psychosocial well-being of its members, being persons with cancer and their caregivers. With over 70 hours of services each month, offerings include massage therapy, counselling, wig fittings, yoga, exercise, creative expression, support groups, educational sessions, traditional Indigenous healing, and financial assistance. There is no charge for any of the services or programs provided by the GBCSC.
Funding support from 100 Men Southern Georgian Bay will go directly to support the new Southern Georgian Bay GBCSC location, which was begun in June, 2025 in Collingwood. The opening of the Southern Georgian Bay location has resulted in GBCSC membership numbers having tripled and hours of support having doubled to meet the demand for individual and group programming for community members facing a cancer diagnosis living in the Southern Georgian Bay community. “We are greatly appreciative of the support through 100 Men Southern Georgian Bay. Their generosity will help us with financing the expansion of our services and programs into the Southern Georgian Bay Community”, said Dylan Lalande, Executive Director.
“We are pleased to recognize the Georgian Bay Cancer Support Centre and with this financial donation, support them in responding to the 2023 request of a group of Collingwood residents that the GBCSC expand into the Southern Georgian Bay Community to fill the gap in services available for persons with cancer and their caregivers.”
Bob Hughes, Leadership Team Member, 100 Men Who Care Southern Georgian Bay.
