Wine Women & Shoes drew a sell-out crowd of more than 350 women to Champions Run on April 15 to sip, savor and shop at this fourth annual event to support Children’s Hospital & Medical Center’s Carolyn Scott Rainbow House. Donors celebrated fashion and compassion, raising $186,000 in gross revenue. More than 50 Shoe Guys—handsome and helpful volunteers who presented shoes and jewelry on silver trays—provided another unique element that made this fundraiser a huge hit. Through online fundraising of their own prior to the event, the Shoe Guys raised more than $7,400 for the Rainbow House.

Proceeds from Wine Women & Shoes benefit the Carolyn Scott Rainbow House, which offers a convenient and welcoming “home away from home” for patient families who live 60 miles or more from Omaha.

“We are delighted at the outpouring of support for the Carolyn Scott Rainbow House. In just four years, Wine Women & Shoes has become one of Omaha’s most popular and anticipated events for women,” said Beth Greiner, executive director of Children’s Hospital & Medical Center Foundation. “The Wine Women & Shoes chairs and committee worked tirelessly to make the evening so memorable and successful. We are grateful for this incredible team and for all who attended to support the children and families served at the Rainbow House.” For more Information: 402.955.6851 | www.WineWomenandShoes.com/Omaha
