The
International Women's Club of Stuttgart will host its Fourth Annual
Charity Event on
June 12th, 2010 from
17:00 to 19:00 at the SSB-Veranstaltungszentrum in Waldau Park,
Stuttgart. The evening will include drinks and finger food, live
entertainment, and fundraising to benefit our designated charity, Frauen Helfen Frauen e.V. We are honored
to have Bürgermeisterin
Dr.
Susanne Eisenmann supporting us as our patron again this year.
Many
fantastic prizes will be offered during our silent and live
auctions plus a raffle. This is a fabulous chance for you to walk away
with
some great gifts for yourself and others while doing
good at
the same time. Check out the "manly" items we have this year, including power tools and grill items.The full list of confirmed items can be found on our
charity
event blog.
All
proceeds will be donated to Frauen
Helfen Frauen e.V., an non-profit that runs
a Stuttgart women’s shelter to keep local woman keep safe from their
abusive
partners and spouses while providing counseling and other assistance.
Our
donations help provide the little extras we all take for granted to the
women
and children who are FHF clients. In the past, our donations have been
used for
a playroom with toys for the children, over-the-counter medicines for
illnesses, and emergency starter money for women who are ready to move
out on
their own. We’ve met some of the women from FHF and they are incredibly
grateful for our assistance and support.
