Change your shoes, change a life at this November event to support children and adults with autism and related challenges.
The Faison Center will host its inaugural Wine Women & Shoes (WWS) event at the Science Museum of Virginia’s Dewey Gottwald Center on Thursday, Nov. 14, from 6 to 9:30 p.m.
An irresistible blend of fashion and compassion, WWS events are all about putting the “fun” in fundraising. They give women the opportunity to get glamorous with their friends while enjoying incredible varietals from top winemakers, all for a good cause.
The Faison Center’s sip-sational event will feature wines from Tattoo Girl wines, Jolene Family Winery and more, as well as a shoppable multi-designer marketplace with clothes, handbags and jewelry.
In addition to shopping peep-toes while sipping pinots, guests will enjoy a Key to the Closet raffle, Wall of Wine, silent and live auctions, plus delicious culinary bites and a fashion show produced by students from VCU Fashion.
Wine Women & Shoes (WWS) is Thurs, Nov. 14 at the Science Museum of Virginia
