The Guelph chapter of 100 Men Who Give a Damn will be choosing the next organization it will support on Wednesday.
The group of 100 men each donate $100 to a local charity, first listening to pitches from three different charitable causes then after deliberating chooses which one it will give a $10,000 cheque to.
The whole process takes an hour.
Newcomers are welcome.
The meeting takes place at the Guelph Armouries beginning at 7:15 p.m.
More information can be found on the local chapter's website.
