Share Our Strength Benefit Fashion Show





Saturday, March 6th, was spent at the Ashton Place in Willowbrook, Illinois as part of the fashion show in conjunction with the luncheon, raffle and silent auction for Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital of Downer's Grove benefitting Share Babies.



Share is AGSH's perinatal support program for families coping with high-risk pregnancies, premature births, sick infants or the loss of a child due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death.



A really touching part of the fashion show is the children's portion because all of our "models" are either children cared for and saved by this program, or siblings of "angels gone home". My favorite part of being there was getting to talk to a lot of these little ones, take pictures and get hugs from these little miracles.



Special thanks to Tracey and Abby of Zzazz Productions for coordinating the fashion show and having Mrs. Illinois be a part of events like these. To her staff for making everything run so smoothly (and this one especially, since we had to run up and down stairs for each change of wardrobe!). And to Marcie and Julie Aceto for taking the time to come to the event as well as Julie taking pictures for me.
