This is no time for sensible shoes!

Over the past 30 years, the Children’s Dream Fund has helped to fulfill thousands of dreams for local children who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Our ability to fulfill the dreams of these children is contingent on the continued financial support and contributions from our community. Our upcoming fundraising event, Wine, Women & Shoes, will be a three-day event hosted by the Florida Fashionistas. We are expecting over 500 attendees throughout the event to be held November 4-6, 2010. We hope you will join us!
