Introducing: Wine, Women & Shoes

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona is incredibly excited to announce a brand new event: Wine, Women & Shoes! Taking place on August 17, 2024, at Chateau Luxe, this is an engaging and exciting fundraising event where community-minded, philanthropic women (and a few good men!) gather to sip, shop, savor, and support a worthy cause in a chic, fun, and innovative way. The event will begin with a marketplace, where all vendors are donating a portion of the proceeds back to BBBSAZ. Attendees will enjoy wine tasting while shopping and the chance to purchase exclusive “keys to the closet” for a chance to win an amazing closet full of items! Attendees will then enjoy lunch and a program that details the important work BBBSAZ is doing in the community. There will be several exciting live auction lots. The event will conclude with a fashion show featuring several Big Sisters and their adorable Littles! 

Wine, Women & Shoes is being chaired by BBBSAZ supporters, Amy Walters and Lena Spotleson. These two amazing women will lead a powerhouse planning committee of 30+ community members in hosting this inaugural event.  

Amy Walters is the Vice President of Product Operations for City of Hope. She has the honor of using cutting-edge technology to improve the overall patient experience. Amy is a Board member of Big Brothers Big Sisters Arizona and is an incredible Big Sister to her 16 year old Little, Liana.
