In the last decade, Wine, Women & Shoes has taken the U.S. by storm, hosting over 400 fashion-forward fundraising events. This two-part signature event series blends philanthropy with style, creating a chic and dynamic atmosphere for community-minded women (and a few good men) to sip, shop, savor, and support a meaningful cause.

The Marketplace — Sip, Savor, Shop & Support

The Marketplace is a sensory experience that emerges when guests walk through the doors. The energy is contagious, from wine tastings and culinary delights to shopping designer pop-up boutiques and mingling with our charming Shoe Guys. Revenue-generating activations add to the fun, allowing guests to enjoy themselves while making a difference.

Seated Program — Let’s Take to the Stage!

The seated portion of the event is packed with excitement, featuring dramatic lighting, captivating entertainment, and wow-worthy moments. From the warm welcome and mission message to the live auction and fashion show, every element is designed to engage and inspire. Most importantly, this program connects the audience to the heart of our mission.

Making a Difference in Our Community

Our fundraising efforts support Alliance After School Care, ensuring children from low-income families in Abilene, TX, have access to safe, enriching educational programs. With scholarships and financial assistance, we break down barriers to quality care for pre-K through 5th grade children. This gives them a nurturing environment to learn, play, and grow until 6 p.m. daily. This vital service keeps children safe and helps working parents balance work and family life.

Through this program, children participate in various activities that foster creativity, learning, and social development—arts and crafts, outdoor play, structured homework sessions, or special enrichment presentations. Our dedicated staff creates a welcoming space where every child can thrive.

We are also thrilled to introduce two incredible programs that help prepare girls for bright futures:

Summer Leadership Academy for Middle School Girls — This innovative program empowers girls to explore culinary arts, fashion, business, and science/technology. With guidance from certified teachers and experienced Alliance staff, participants gain hands-on experience, mentorship, and opportunities to build confidence, skills, and a vision for their future success.

There She Glows Teen Girls Conference — An entire day dedicated to empowering 100 teen girls to build their future from the inside out. This inspiring event helps young ladies strengthen their self-esteem, set goals, and create a personal and professional success roadmap.
