Work of Women program hosts Wine, Women & Shoes fashion event
OKLAHOMA CITY – World Neighbors, an international development organization headquartered in Oklahoma City, is pleased to announce its inaugural partnership with the Wine, Women & Shoes fundraising event May 17, 2012, which will benefit its Work of Women (WOW!) program.
Work of Women, recognized by The Journal Record in 2011 as one of 50 “Programs Making a Difference,” is a membership program at World Neighbors that mobilizes women in support of a better life for their counterparts in isolated villages throughout the world. Wine, Women & Shoes is raising the profile of WOW! with a one-of-a-kind luncheon, shopping and wine tasting event at the Oklahoma City Farmers Market, which will feature a fashion show and exclusive shopping with vendors carrying designer labels.
The synergy of WOW! and Wine, Women & Shoes missions make the two organizations a perfect fit to bring together women who enjoy fine wine, great style and female camaraderie – all to support a noble cause.
“We are so pleased to be partnering with Wine, Women & Shoes,” said Erin Engelke, vice president of marketing and communications at World Neighbors. “WOW! elevates the status of women across the globe and helps them realize their potential to positively influence their communities. The Wine, Women & Shoes event will bring together women in Oklahoma who support that cause with a fabulous celebration of wine, shoes and shopping!”
Wine, Women & Shoes has managed more than 100 events and raised more than $8 million for its partners. Susan Chambers, president of the Oklahoma City Chapter of WOW!, is chairwoman of the event.
