Tavi J. of Chi@Glance

I am super excited to be involved with the Daisie Foundation Leading Ladies Luncheon!! Last year, I was a correspondent and got to walk the run way. This year I get the pleasure of doing it again! I love interviewing our leading ladies and guests to learn what being a leading lady means to them. It makes me ponder the definition of a leading lady and if Iโ€™m living up to the responsibilities that a leading lady represents. Are you putting aย ๐Ÿ™‚ on your face every day as well as trying to put a smile on someone elseโ€™s? Are you generous, kind hearted, and a role model? I believe a leading lady takes joy in supporting herself, her friends/family, and her community. If this sounds like YOU please join us for the 2018 Daisie Foundation Leading Ladies Luncheon!.

The Daisie Foundation is a non-profit that strives to change the lives of woman and children through philanthropic efforts in various communities. This Motherโ€™s Day the Daisie Foundation will be making over roughly 300 deserving Motherโ€™s!!! The Motherโ€™s being made over have overcome many of lifeโ€™s obstacles and this event provides themย with a much needed opportunity to relax, recharge, and receive a bit of pampering with the help of generous sponsors and volunteers. Proceeds from the Leading Ladies Luncheon, goes towards helping these ladies have an AMAZING day!

Are you ready to give back to your community, help DESERVING woman, and have a fun time doing it?!? Wellโ€ฆ.you need to purchase tickets to the Leading Ladies Luncheon being held at The W Chicago City Center Location on April 28th. See below for more details!!

Weโ€™re very excited to be partnering with The W Hotel who, as our presenting sponsor, will host the luncheon at their downtown City Center location. This stunning backdrop provides the perfect setting for the event, which is quickly shaping up to be our best ever!

Featuring a Kentucky Derby-style theme (with the race happening the following weekend), all of those in attendance will be sporting their best derby hats and dresses. From there, weโ€™ll be recognizing and honoring a number of leading ladies who are making a positive impact throughout Chicago in business, education, community outreach and more. Finally, after hearing inspiring stories from our keynote speaker, Dara Levy, CEO and Founder of DermaFlash weโ€™ll round out the day with a lively fashion show featuring some of the latest affordable trends and styles of 2018.

As a nod to the buildings century-long heritage, the experience will also feature references to the original Marshall Fieldโ€™s logo.
