Doors open at 6:00pm, with dinner service at 7:15pm, followed by our amazing fashion show.

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.

The mission of Philoptochos is to promote charitable, benevolent and philanthropic outreach to preserve the sanctity of life and family. Support this mission by attending our fundraising event with dinner and a fashion show.
