The non profit organization, Amity School Children's Aid held their annual Fashion show & Luncheon  fundraiser at the Oak Park Country Club - the venue graciously hosts the event every year, on the second Tuesday of May. 

What a fabulous tradition to kick off the Summer season in Chicago!  Thanks to Amity President Myra Price, and the volunteer board members who work diligently with local retailers & vendors to provide a day of shopping, silent auction and a preview of multi-seasonal local fashion by: Sugarcup Trading, Barbara Bates Design, York Furrier, Muse, Sanem's, Only She, Boho Chic & Stella & Dot.  Also displayed on the runway: the stunning, award winning fur garment collection of SAIC student designer Jamie Lange - a collaboration with York Furrier.

The Charity honored Sue Crothers - Gee with the 'Outstanding Citizen Award', the 5th annual distinction.  An avid philanthropist, student mentor and environmental champion, Sue spoke of her passion for giving back to her community, citing a story about Mother Theresa, that by making a change to even just one person's life, you can change the world.
