Women had a chance to watch, drink, and shop while helping children at the time Thursday night. The Women, Wine and Shoes event at UNCW in the Burney Center.

Organizers said people who come to events like this are really able to see their mission and its affect on children and the community. They said it’s something they carry with them when they leave.

“Once they leave and they’ve had all the fun tonight, they can know that they’ve helped a child, and helped provide that hope, strength and joy, and it’s so important,” said Kristen Johnson, the CEO of the program.

WWAY’s Daniel Seamans was even one of the men who catered to the women all night.

Organizers said without Wine, Women, and Shoes; their largest even in the coastal area and other events like it, they would not be able to gather those donations and grant wishes to the 200 children on the wish waiting list.
