charities:
“Since this was a new event for Tulsa and for the YWCA, we set an ambitious goal of raising $100,000 gross proceeds. Thanks to WW&S, we blew the top off our goal, raising just over $130,000.”
Andrew R. Turner, Attorney-at-Law & YWCA of Tulsa Board Member, Tulsa, OK

Our inaugural event in 2005 netted nearly $100,000 and our number of guests has grown steadily over the last two years. Everyone agrees Wine, Women & Shoes is the hottest ticket in town and It’s brought our agency to the forefront of charities in Sarasota, Florida with its unique combination of gorgeous shoes, glorious wines, and a great cause.
Betsy Kane-Hartnett, Co-Executive Director, Forty Carrots Family Center, Sarasota, FL

“Speaking as the host retailer, WWS was an extremely successful event, with sales doubling our expectations. Elaine Honig is an absolute dynamo and the audience loved every minute of the evening. I can highly recommend WWS to any retailer”.
Bob Benham, President, Balliet’s, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

“As an Italian fashion shoe designer, I am very impressed by the heart and soul of volunteers that run the program. I was able to introduce my shoe and hand bag collection in a relaxed venue, with fabulous wines, delicious food, and gorgeous people gathering to have a great time, all the while benefiting the less fortunate.”
Angelo Anastasio, Owner, Angeleigh Anastasio, Inc.

“At least three things are remarkable about Wine Women and Shoes. The milieu of the event is so energized—so stylish and charismatic that every wine shows beautifully. Women not only want to buy the shoes they’re trying on but also every “fabulous” wine they taste.
Julie Johnson, Owner, Tres Sabores Wines
