The Alliance for Women and Children is a nonprofit organization in Abilene, TX with the mission to provide quality programs to empower all women and children by educating and assisting women to be health conscious and self-sufficient and providing a nurturing and safe environment for school aged children. This is accomplished through Alliance After School Care which is the largest, most affordable, state licensed after school care program in the area serving 16 elementary schools in 4 local school districts.

The fundraising event we are asking for assistance with is Wine Women and Shoes Abilene. In the last decade, Wine, Women & Shoes has exploded across the US producing more than 400 fashion fundraising events. This two-part signature event series creates an enhanced atmosphere of giving where community-minded, philanthropic women (and a few good men) gather to sip, shop, savor, and support a worthy cause in an exciting, chic and innovative way.

This event raises money for scholarships and financial assistance for low-income families in and around Abilene, Texas. This assistance ensures that children in Pre-K through 5th grade on 16 elementary school campuses are able to attend Alliance After School Care from the time school is out until 6:00pm. So no child goes home alone.
