Penticton's 100 Men Who Care are back for their first fundraising event in 2023, with a special focus on mental health awareness.

The charitable group, which consists of members who meet four times a year and whose membership fees go towards three non-profit organizations each quarter, will meet next at Tin Whistle Brewing on Feb. 7.

At each event, members are treated to speed pitches from three different local charities. Members donate $100 each to attend, and if everyone shows up, that means the pot of money to distribute is $10,000 or more.

The event will be sponsored by Struthers Technical Solutions, which will provide catering from The Nest.

Doors open at 5 p.m. and the event runs from 5:30-6:30 p.m., but attendees are welcome to stick around afterwards for networking opportunities.
