Good Shepherd Center’s 9th Annual Fashion Show is coming up on Saturday, November 16, 2019 at Idlewild Country Club in Flossmoor with the exciting theme of Winter Wonderland. Please consider participating in this event, either by modeling, donating to the silent auction, placing an ad in our program book, attending the show or with a financial donation.
Our fashion show is Good Shepherd Center’s largest fund raiser of the year.
The show will feature children and adults with and without disabilities and provide them a moment to shine on the runway. It is a fabulous event, enjoyed by all. Last year’s event was a huge success, raising more than $20,000 for Good Shepherd Center! Due to the success of this event we were able to continue providing all services to our families while working on new projects as well.
Good Shepherd Center continues to provide therapies and services to communities in the South/Southwest suburbs and parts of Chicago, giving children with and without disabilities, the early start they need. Good Shepherd Center is a 501(c)(3) organization that started in 1963.
Your help will allow us to continue to provide the best programs possible. For more information please contact me at the information listed below. Thanks so very much.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Assise
