The 100 Men Campaign was created in 2016 to engage men in the pursuit of Aurora’s mission. Led by the 100 Men Host Committee, the campaign invites men to donate at least $100 each and to encourage gifts from other men and businesses in their personal and professional communities.

In 2024, the 9^th annual campaign, which raised more than $35,000, culminated with a joyful celebration at the Hartford Athletic soccer match on June 15th, at Trinity Health Stadium. Hosted by the Athletic’s Green & Blue Foundation, more than 60 excited supporters gathered that evening for an Aurora Happy Hour with pizza and other goodies, as well as beer donated by Fox Farm Brewery (thanks to owner Zack Adams, a member of the 100 Men Host Committee).

The group was thrilled to see Aurora featured in videos on the Jumbotron both before the game and at halftime – and to see the Athletic’s 2-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. It was a fantastic night for soccer and for Aurora, as thousands of fans learned about the myriad of ways we fulfill our mission to support women and girls in Greater Hartford.
