100 women donated 133 stockings and 150 gifts through United Way’s Women in Philanthropy so 183 local foster youth, and those emancipated, would have holiday wishes fulfilled.
Guests enjoyed this one of a kind Christmas shopping event held on November 18th. The evening was presented by Macy’s and United Way California Capital Region to thank United Way’s leadership donors. Jim O’Leary, Design Director of Waterford Crystal shared his vast knowledge of Waterford Crystal over the past 51 years. He was also available to sign everyone’s Waterford Crystal items.

I would like to THANK the United Way California Capital
Region for allowing me to participate in this year’s 10th
Anniversary Celebration of United Way’s Women in Philanthropy
fashion show held on October 13th!
I had an AMAZING time preparing for this event and meeting such
remarkable Women in Philanthropy members!
We all truly had a blast walking on the catwalk… =)
I am honored to be a part of such a wonderful organization that
brings women together to foster the future, preparing foster
youth for a successful adulthood.
It was awesome to see them also participate in the fashion show
and to watch them feel confident about themselves! What a way to
brighten someone’s life by providing the tools to fulfill their
dreams!
That is what I call LIVING UNITED!!!
