Children's Memorial Gold Coast Fashion Award Show


Gustavo Cadile design presented at the Gold Coast Fashion Award Show.

A near capacity crowd of 1,300 people attended the 52nd Annual Gold Coast Fashion Award Show, the signature fundraising event of The Children's Service Board, an affiliated organization of Children's Memorial Hospital. The show was held on October 5 at the Chicago Hilton and Towers.

This year's show raised more than $450,000. Proceeds from the show will go towards The Children's Service Board's commitment to support the needs and programs of Children's Memorial, including the new hospital in Streeterville. The event's co-chairs were Nancy Fendley Novosel and Felicia Ferguson Winiecki.

This year's Gold Coast Fashion Award went to Gustavo Cadile whose Fall/Winter 2007 collection delighted the audience with his elegant evening wear. Last year's winner, Dennis Basso, opened the show with his fall collection and was on hand to accept the award.

Children's Memorial Hospital, Chicago, is recognized as one of the top pediatric hospitals in the country by rankings published in U.S. News & World Report.  Its physicians are on the faculty at the Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Memorial relies on philanthropy to help provide care to 103,000 patients and their families every year.
