Leading Ladies Luncheon
Focusing on tomorrow’s educators, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, and community leaders, this annual Pre-Derby Luncheon serves to inspire women by introducing them to the work of our Leading Ladies Honorees and the latest fashion trends for professional women. Featuring a VIP Discussion Panel moderated by Tia Ewing, Anchor and Reporter of Fox 32 Chicago, a keynote address by EVEREVE Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Megan Tamte, and a fashion show hosted by Univision’s Erika Maldonado, this 2019 event delivered insights, camaraderie and newfound confidence to women pursuing their passions. We wish to thank our event sponsor, Swissȏtel Chicago, whose support made this event possible.Mother’s Day Makeovers
During our 2019 Mother’s Day Makeover Event we provided transformational makeovers to more than 700 mothers in Chicago and Milwaukee. We truly doubled the number of single mothers, military veterans & spouses, cancer survivors, and working women than we were able to serve the previous year. In addition to full makeup and hair services donated by local stylists and makeup artists, participating mothers also received a new outfit and accessories from our sponsors. By the end of the event, each woman was ready for her next job interview, along with a professional headshot for LinkedIn and other job boards.
