Aspire Children’s Services’ participants, alumni, and family took to the runway on Sept 19, modeling fall fashions from the Disney Store, Kohl's in Elmhurst and Lilly Pulitzer.
For the fifth consecutive year, Lisa Parker from NBC5 News added unmatchable grace and personality as Master of Ceremonies.
The event featured the “Big Ticket Raffle” which included tickets to The Oprah Winfrey Show, an overnight stay at Dana Hotel and Spa, a hand crafted children’s reading corner made by master carpenter Art Bishop, and more. The event also featured a Shopping Spree Raffle and a silent auction of more than 100 gift packages.
