EVENT INFO
We are excited to announce our Annual Fashion Show & Fundraising Event, which will take place on Friday, February 20, 2026, at The Empress Banquets in Addison, IL. This year’s theme is “Paris is Always a Good Idea” – where beauty, culture, and celebration come together effortlessly. Gathering in style and good company is, after all, always a good idea! Doors open at 6:00pm, with dinner service at 7:15pm, followed by our amazing fashion show.
Proceeds from this event will support our various charitable outreach programs, including the Hellenic Foundation and Matthias Academy. The Hellenic Foundation’s mission is to fund the development and support of programs that benefit the Greek-American and Orthodox Christian communities in the Chicagoland area. Matthias Academy is a nonprofit community in southeastern Wisconsin where adults with mild to severe disabilities, specialized medical needs, behavioral challenges, and mild to profound autism live their best lives together.
