25 years Celebrating Success Fall Into Fashion Harvest of Hope HOW Very Stellar Thomas Bligh, Fall Into Fashion event photography Mike Kelly, HOW Very Stellar event photography
Housing Opportunities for Women hosts a number of events throughout the year to celebrate its partnerships, raise vital program dollars and serve the community. In September 2007, HOW celebrated in style with Fall Into Fashion. This unique fashion show fundraiser featured designers from Chicago and New York, volunteer models, and sponsors North Shore Community Bank, National City Bank, Fitted By the Best, the S&C Foundation and Juice Plus. HOW also presented Barbara Bates with the Design for Justice Award. Ms. Bates, a celebrated Chicago area designer, is known for creating prom dresses for under-served teen girls. A host of vendors and volunteers made the event a success, raising more than $6,000 in support of HOW’s mission. HOW’s annual meeting in October allowed board, staff, program participants, donors and community partners to refl ect on the year’s accomplishments. Nan Roman, President of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, shared her insights about the need for supportive housing, and relayed that HOW has created the gold standard among providers nationwide. Our spring annual gala dinner and auction was out of this world. Held at the Adler Planetarium, HOW Very Stellar raised nearly $200,000 in support of HOW’s mission. Board President John Moore and Executive Director Britt Shawver kicked off the evening’s program with a 25th Anniversary toast. Honorary Event Chair Mary Dillon, Event Chair Sylvie Légère, Host Zoraida Sambolin (NBC-5), Partners in Change awardee MB Financial Bank, Presenting Sponsor McDonald’s Corporation, and a very special gift from Joe and Marlene Ricketts, made the evening a night to remember, while silent and live auctions energized the generous crowd. HOW Very 2009 will be held on May 2 at Adler.
