"Fighting Hunger with Style"

If you haven't already seen the hype all over Facebook, "Fighting Hunger with Style" was THE event to kickoff November 2012 in Naperville.

Organized by The Real Housewives of Naperville, Lillians of Naperville and benefiting Loaves & Fishes, Blackfinn American Saloon was generous to donate their second floor for this incredible event. From the admission donations to the fashion show and raffle, a percentage of proceeds was given to help feed the hungry.

As a guest, it was an extraordinary event - which did not surprise me as most Real Housewives of Naperville events are. There was no hiding that something BIG was happening as I climbed the stairs to Blackfinn's second floor. Screams and cheers of ladies laughter filled the halls, all in great fun and loving charity.

Once upstairs, the doors opened to reveal warm welcomes from the Lillians and Real Housewives team, instantly providing a comfortable admittance. From local fashionista icons to Naperville's authentic women, everyone was there to support a common cause - to raise funds and benefit Loaves & Fishes.

Of course, the party would not be a Real Housewives of Naperville event without the strategic organization of Mary Fran Greenberg and Ursula Schroeder, paving the path for the evening's debut: A heartwarming Thank You by Jody Bender, Community Relations Director with Loaves & Fishes. Our hearts were awed by her sincerity and at once we were all One - a community of local women from every walk of life, coming together to make a difference in this world.
