OUR HISTORY as a charitable foundation
The Barrington Women’s Club, now celebrating its 90th anniversary, doesn’t look or act its age. Founded in 1934, the club continues to offer members a variety of social, educational, and charitable opportunities.
During the Great Depression, the 1938 hurricane, and other hard times, the club contributed fuel and food to needy families.
During World War II, members rolled bandages for soldiers.
Our 501c (3) non-profit organization continues to support charities, contributing more than $4,000 each year to our local communities.
Dr. Evelyn Coppell Award
Our major focus is the Dr. Evelyn Coppell Award, a scholarship established in 1960 by BWC member Dr. Evelyn Coppell,
which is given annually to a high school student who shows
an interest in medicine.
1969
Club members celebrate BWC’s 50th Anniversary in 1969 with song and dance.
