Caring and Sharing Together

Make A Difference in Our Community Today

About Us image

Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in our area, the Women’s Club of Sugarloaf Country Club created the Women’s Club of Sugarloaf Country Club Charities, Inc. in 2008 as a 501 (c) 3, a not-for-profit organization, with the following mission statement:

“WCSCC Charities mobilizes the Sugarloaf community to support local charities whose purposes are to improve the financial, emotional and/or physical wellbeing of families and individuals living in Gwinnett County.”

The WCSCC Charities Charity Board falls under the umbrella of the Women’s Club of Sugarloaf Country Club, and is made up of Women’s Club members. The Charity Board votes each year on local charities to support. This year, the chosen charities are Annandale Village, Duluth Co-op, Mosaic, Home of Hope and the Next Stop Foundation. Both the Women's Club and the Charity Board have Executive Boards which represent our Women's Club members.

March 4 is the first fundraising event in 2023. A Night in Hollywood Dinner Dance with live auction and raffle drawing will take place at the TPC Sugarloaf Club house. In August, we will participate once again in the TPC Sugarloaf Charity Week--an event that honors some of our retired military and veterans with a golf tournament, Pro-Am Tennis tournament and a dinner and auction. The 14th annual Sugarloaf Turkey Trot will be run on Thanksgiving morning. There are many opportunities for you to help us as we fundraise for these deserving charities. Here are some of the ways you can help: MVP Sponsorships, Friend/Resident Sponsorships and advertising in our monthly Sugarloaf Living magazine. Over the last 13 years, we have raised over $1.7 million dollars. The generosity and compassion of the Sugarloaf and Gwinnett County communities have made this possible.

We prefer donations by check so more money goes to our Charities, but we also accept credit cards.

Debbie Bush

Director

I grew up in a very small town in Virginia, Clifton Forge, and received my bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech. My husband and I moved to Georgia when he was in the Army at Fort Benning and we decided to stay. We both received our master’s degrees from Georgia State University. While teaching I went on to obtain my Educational Specialist degree from Brenau University and Georgia State University. I retired from education in 2012. While I was teaching I worked with some of my students on Shakespeare and we presented plays as a culminating activity. When I saw an ad in the paper for auditions at a local community theatre, I decided to try out and got a part in the play, “It’s a Wonderful Life” in 2008. I had caught the theater bug! I went on to act in many plays in the area, mostly at New Dawn, but also at Players Guild at Sugar Hill. Another passion of mine is DAR. I had done some research on my family history, but I was lucky to have an aunt who had completed the line on my mother’s side. Thus began my love of DAR. I am currently the Vice Regent at the Duluth chapter, William Day, and will be Vice Chair for two Georgia State DAR committees – American Indians and Constitution Week for the next two years. Finally, my love of music drives me in chairing the parade for the Duluth Fall Festival. Unfortunately, the festival is cancelled this year due to the coronavirus, but I am getting prepared for the 2021 festival parade! I love a parade!
