ladies nite!
NEWS & NOTES: Nearly 300 women gathered to sip, savor and shop at the second annual Wine, Women & Shoes to support Children’s Hospital & Medical Center’s Carolyn Scott Rainbow House. Donors contributed $155,000 to the one-of-a kind fundraiser at Happy Hollow Club. Guests tasted luxury wines while they shopped a fabulous Marketplace, full of hot shoes, cool jewelry and stylish accessories. They also enjoyed live and silent auctions, a raffle drawing, hors d’oeuvres and dessert from Gigi’s Cupcakes. The Shoe Guys–handsome and helpful volunteers who presented shoes and jewelry on silver trays–were just another unique element that made this fundraiser a huge hit. Honorary chairs were Susan Dennis and Ellen Wright. Regan Fahey Muhs, Haley Walker and Julie Horgan Wurth served as the event’s co-chairs. WOWT’s Malorie Maddox was the evening’s emcee. Sassy and sophisticated décor was provided by Kyle Robino of Old Market Habitat.
