 Shop for a Cause/Fashion Show

The Aurora Public Library Foundation is proud to invite the community to attend this year’s Shop for a Cause/Fashion Show on April 25^th from 6:oopm – 8:30pm! This year’s event is in partnership with Wyckwood House and will feature raffles, brands and charcuterie as well as a fashion show starting at 7:00pm!

We are proud to invite women business leaders in our community to serve as models in the fashion show, highlighting “The Women Behind the Clothes” the work they do for our community and what the library means to them! Wyckwood House will also be donating 15% of everything sold that night back to the foundation!

Through the generous support of community members, local businesses and the foundation board, proceeds from this event will go to support enrichment projects at the Eola Road Branch! These projects will include providing updates to the Makerspace, low sensory spaces for youth/adults and expanding our children’s area.

Special thanks to our Sponsors Sonia Garcia, State Farm, VNA Health and Old National Bank.  Thanks also to this year’s Shop for a Cause Co-Chairs, Sonia Garcia and Delia Basile.

We want to offer special thanks to all of our sponsors, donors and patrons! Our Winter Gala on December 2nd was a fabulous success!

It was a great honor to be able to celebrate Mr. Jim Pilmer and Ms. Cheryl Vonhoff and we are so thankful for the work they have done in our community and for our library!”

Thanks to your generosity through this event, the Aurora Public Library Foundation was able to double what we raised in 2022, further expanding your impact to our services and our patrons!  Please mark your calendar for our 2024 Winter Gala on December 7th!
