March 1, 2024

Tickets are now on sale for the Wilton Woman’s Club (WWC) 15th Annual Fashion Show Fundraiser being held on Thursday, April 25, from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m., at Rolling Hills Country Club. This year’s event will benefit the Caregiver Respite Program Operated by Waveny Visiting Nurse & Hospice. Tickets can be purchased online on the WWC website now through the April 12 deadline.

This signature Wilton event traditionally ushers in spring, and brings people together for a worthy cause as well as fun entertainment, delicious lunch and an exciting silent auction. Nordstrom is once again WWC’s partner for this year’s fashion show. Guests will enjoy a luncheon while viewing WWC members modeling spring styles from designers carried by the store.

The WWC Philanthropy Committee co-chairs Clare Murphy and Donna Peterson led the review of numerous local organizations that provide essential services to the Wilton community and beyond. The Caregiver Respite Program was selected to address the increasing needs of caregivers who are often overworked when caring for family members.

Brenda Sorrels, a member of the WWC Philanthropy Committee, brought this organization to the Committee for consideration. “When Mary Ross, the Administrator of the non-profit, described the dire situation and much needed relief that many overburdened caregivers needed, the committee understood how important it was to support this program,” said Sorrels.

Ross expressed her gratitude to the Wilton Woman’s Club for selecting the organization as this year’s recipient.

“I can’t tell you how grateful we are to the WWC for this support. The mental, emotional, and physical stress is enormous. The money we receive will enable us to provide at least 5 hours of respite care per week, to as many people as we are able to reach.”

The Wilton Woman’s Club was founded in 1966 by a group of women led by Betty Sternad, who had a vision for serving people and groups in Wilton and the surrounding communities, by giving back through philanthropy, education and strengthening the bonds between women.
