Thanks for giving us the opportunity to support a great group of women and a great cause!

Dresses Drinks & Divas 2024 was a wild success! THANK YOU to everyone who attended, sponsored, donated and shared our invite with friends! This group of ladies, named Stork Fund Angels by some people they have blessed, worked for weeks to make Friday night amazing and it was nothing short of that ❤️ 325 generous people came together to support the infertility community-a “community” that was silent for decades-and raised well over $25,000. This money stays local to help families around us. A HUGE thank you to Jean Desrochers and all the staff at the Frank J Pasquerilla Conference Ctr. They were FIRST CLASS! We walked in on Thursday afternoon and LED lights were being installed on the runway and someone was in a lift hanging curtains and I knew they were going to make the event over the top! The food from Joey Del's 2001 Caterers was *chef kiss* as per usual! Joey is a true gentleman. Pitch Posh brought truck loads of pink balloons and transformed our photo backdrop and stage. Daniel Hockenberry for playing the best music and just going with the flow with all these crazy ladies bossing you around 🤣
To our boutiques, Camille's House of Styles Salon and Boutique, Celestial Brides & Prom, Feathered Lane and SONG of SIXPENCE you are AMAZING! You worked so hard to make this event amazing!
To our aesthetics partners, you are the reason we sold over 250 VIP tickets!
PureReflection donated nearly $20,000 in gift certificates. Villa Aesthetics donated $12,000 in gift cards and was our dessert sponsor and provided custom cookies and desserts for all attendees. Swanky Aesthetics gave all VIP attendees amazing belt bags with Circadia products and LIP FLIPS! You all know how to treat us girls right!
A big thank you to all our sponsors ❤️
