Hero In Heels

	Program: The Hero in Heels Fashion Fundraiser was created by the Wish Upon A Hero Foundation to raise money to benefit women who are affected by cancer.
About the Program:
It’s no secret, women LOVE shoes. It seemed natural to channel this passion for shoes to support a worthy cause. So the Wish Upon A Hero Foundation created the Hero in Heels Fashion Fundraiser which benefits women affected by cancer. Hero in Heels is an annual fashion show held every spring where famous celebrity women donate a signed pair of shoes for the auction. The money raised will support women who are suffering with cancer. It's great publicity for a great cause. Here's our goal. Our goal is to collect 50 signed shoes from top female celebrities for our 2010 fashion event. The average female celebrity has a closet full of incredible footwear. Most of those shoes are worn only a few times before they return to sitting on a shelf collecting dust. The Hero in Heels program is a great way to put that pair of beautiful shoes back into spotlight while raising money for an important cause. Here's what you need to know... The shoes must be in good physical condition. Some bidders don't care whose shoes they are, they just want to bid on a pair Roberto Cavalli heels. Sign the shoe inside or underneath. Use a permanent ink marker. Send us the "good stuff"! Elite trendy shoes will generate a higher bid and ultimately raise more money for the cause. Send in an 8 x 10 signed photo that will be displayed next to your shoes. Your name, the shoe brand, and the shoe size will be featured on the website and the program. It's great publicity. How you can help. If you are already a celebrity and you have an amazing pair of beautiful shoes collecting dust in your closet, then send them to us. If you KNOW a celebrity, then ask them if they would like to donate one of the many hundreds of shoes they own. Tell them it's time to "recycle fashion" for a good cause.

Success Stories:
I WISH for a wig & wig care supplies for my Mother "My Mother has been diagnosed with Stage IIB Grade 3 Breast Cancer. It was in a lymph node and was 3CM large. She has had a masectomy and is getting her portacath put in Friday to get ready for chemo. The chemo will make her hair fall out. She is fighting for me and for my son (her grandson). He is 3 years old. She wants to see him grow up. I do not have the money to get her the wig." The Wish Upon A Hero Foundation purchased this wig. I WISH for help for my family - Daughter is sick with Leukemia "I am writing out of desperation and in the hope that maybe someone can help us or at least point us in the right direction. I am a stay at home mother to four wonderful children. Our oldest daughter, who is 11, was recently diagnosed with ALL - Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She was sick for a few months prior to her diagnosis but this came as a shock to our family." The Wish Upon A Hero Foundation financially supported this family. I WISH For Breast Prostheses and Mastectomy Bra "This is for my best friend. She had a double mastectomy when she was 28 (she's 33 now)and now has chemo induced lupus and lymphodema(spelled wrong). She agreed to be in my Aug 1st wedding but I know that she really don't want to because she'll have to wear a dress and of her weight gain and having no breasts.."
