In a circle of giving, we rise together.

November 2026 @ El Camino

What a wonderful evening for our latest 100 Women of the Coastal Bend gathering! Despite a little rain and a last-minute venue adjustment, our members came together for another memorable night filled with connection, generosity, and organizations making a meaningful difference throughout our community.

A special thank-you to El Camino for welcoming us into their upstairs event space and helping make the evening a success. Their flexibility and hospitality during our weather-related change were incredible. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to gather!

Impact Grant Awarded – $15,000

We are incredibly proud to announce that our $15,000 Impact Grant was awarded to My Direct Obstetric Care (My DOC).

My DOC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit medical clinic in Corpus Christi dedicated to providing free, evidence-based prenatal care to uninsured and underinsured pregnant women throughout the Coastal Bend.

Their mission is rooted in the belief that every mother deserves access to compassionate, high-quality medical care, regardless of her insurance status or ability to pay. Through prenatal appointments, diagnostic ultrasounds, laboratory testing, postpartum care, and education, My DOC works to reduce barriers to early prenatal care and improve outcomes for mothers and babies.

With the support of our Impact Grant, My DOC will be able to further develop its on-site ultrasound capabilities, helping provide essential diagnostic imaging directly to the women they serve.

This investment will help reduce transportation and financial barriers, identify potential pregnancy complications earlier, and support healthier outcomes for families throughout our region.

We are honored to support My DOC and the important work they are doing for mothers and babies in our community.

Congratulations to My Direct Obstetric Care!

Action Award – $500

The Big Bertha Foundation received a $500 Action Award.

Founded by Pete Treviño, the Big Bertha Foundation grew out of a deeply personal experience and a desire to make sure other families would have support during life's most difficult moments.

What began with a barbecue benefit following the loss of Pete's father has grown into a lasting mission of love, compassion, and community service. Today, Big Bertha has become a symbol of hope, bringing people together to support families through scholarships, disaster relief, and assistance for those in need.

From feeding communities in times of tragedy to helping families facing hardship, the foundation demonstrates how one person's commitment to helping others can grow into something much bigger.

We are grateful for the work of Pete and everyone who continues to stand behind the Big Bertha Foundation.

Action Award – $500

K Space Contemporary also received a $500 Action Award.

Established in 2001, K Space Contemporary is a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to presenting and promoting contemporary art while creating opportunities for creative exchange, education, and experimentation throughout South Texas.

Located in downtown Corpus Christi, K Space hosts 18–20 exhibitions each year featuring regional and national artists. Beyond its gallery exhibitions, the organization provides educational programming, workshops, teen art programs, and public art initiatives that bring creativity into our schools and neighborhoods.

K Space has completed 28 public artworks through its Mural Arts Program and has played an important role in two beloved community traditions: First Friday ArtWalk and Corpus Christi's celebrated Dia de los Muertos Festival.

With more than 25,000 visitors each year, K Space continues to enrich our community, support local artists, and make the arts accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.

We are excited to support an organization that helps keep creativity, culture, and artistic expression thriving in the Coastal Bend.

Bonus Give – 2Feet Out Ministries

One of our favorite traditions at every 100 Women meeting is our Bonus Give, an opportunity for members to come together and fulfill a specific, tangible need for one of our qualifying charities.

This quarter, we were excited to support 2Feet Out Ministries, whose mission is to help individuals and families break the cycle of generational poverty and get "2 Feet Out" and stay out.

Their need was simple but meaningful: books for kindergarten and first-grade-aged children to help fill their children's library.

And our members delivered!

The generosity was incredible. So many books were donated that it took several trips to get everything loaded up! We know those books will bring countless smiles, encourage young readers, and help create opportunities for learning and discovery.

Thank you to everyone who brought books or contributed to this special give!

Treats for Troops

Our members also showed their generosity through our candy collection for Soldier's Angels Treats for Troops.

All those leftover Halloween treats found a new purpose! Members brought in bags of candy that will be delivered to a collection site and shared with our service members.

It's another wonderful example of how even the smallest contributions can bring a little happiness to someone else.

The Power of 100 Women

Another meeting, another reminder of what can happen when women come together with a shared purpose.

This evening, $16,000 was awarded to three incredible organizations, supporting maternal healthcare, community assistance, and the arts. Our members also filled a children's library with books and helped spread a little sweetness to our troops.

We are grateful to our presenting charities, our generous sponsors, our volunteers, and every member who continues to make these evenings possible.

A special thank-you to our sponsors CF Design, Principle BMW of Corpus Christi, The Tailored Closet, Royal Design Studios, Wealth and Worth, Coastline Properties, and Radiology & Associates for their continued support and for helping us introduce this quarter's organizations to our members.

And of course, no 100 Women gathering would be complete without Eric Graham keeping the music going and Gertrude Stewart capturing the evening through her camera lens!

From the generosity of our members to the organizations working tirelessly throughout our community, this is what the circle of giving is all about.

Together, we are 100 Women. Together, we are making a difference.
