Miami’s notable female philanthropists and community leaders recently gathered to celebrate Chapman Partnership’s 16th annual Take A Walk in Her Shoes signature luncheon at Jungle Island. The acclaimed fundraiser honors women who elevate the organization and raise critical funds to illuminate the path toward self-sufficiency for women and children experiencing homelessness.
Hosted by our honorary chairs Trish and Dan Bell, the sold-out event featuring a woman centric marketplace and inspirational “Girl Talk” panel was attended by over 300 guests and supporters generated much-needed funds to provide life-changing resources for families overcoming housing and food insecurities.
“It was an honor to celebrate the extraordinary commitment of these remarkable women in our community, who harness the power of philanthropy to transform the lives of the women and children we serve.” said Heidi Alzate Kaufman, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Development of Chapman Partnership. “We were especially proud to present the Trish Bell Lifetime Achievement Award to Laurie Jennings, whose leadership and compassion have left an enduring impact on our mission.”
