Last quarter, 50 Men Who Care raised over $2000 for Susie's Place in Bloomington. That's kinda cool... but with more members we can do even more good work locally.

Won't you join us?

50 Men Who Care meets this Thursday (tomorrow) at 5:30 at Heartwork Brewing (1703 N College Ave). One hour of your time every three months to yield huge positive impact in the local Community - not a bad investment if you ask me.

Oh, and they have beer. :)

Do you see hope in the World? If you do see it, help us create more. If you don't see it then let's build hope together.

Come on Thursday, April 23, 2026 at 5:30pm to Heartwork Brewing at 1703 N College Ave, Bloomington, IN for our quarterly meeting to determine which local charity gets our financial gift. The more who come, the more hope that we can create in our community. There is no financial obligation to observe.

Did you know that 50 Men Who Care is a member of the 100 Who Care Alliance, an organization that works with giving circles across the nation and around the world? It's a loose affiliation - each chapter is 100% local and autonomous, but we share lessons learned and helpful tips with other chapters via the Alliance. This means that even the smallest groups in the most remote corners of the world can lean on the larger, successful groups, all in the name of helping their local non-profits reap the benefits of collective giving. At last count, there were 819 active chapters around the globe, with the vast majority of those in the US and Canada.

But for those hundreds of groups and their millions of dollars raised, none of them are meeting in a Brewery in Bloomington... none of them except US that is!

Won't you join us?

The next quarterly meeting of 50 Men Who Care is on Thursday, April 23rd. Social Hour begins at 5:30 and we get down to the business of participatory philanthropy at 6.

Come join us at Heartwork Brewing, 1703 N College Avenue to find out what worthy local non-profit will be our winner! And if YOU have a non-profit you would like to propose as our quarterly winner, please plan on attending!
