Italian American Women’s Organization proudly presents their annual fashion show at Venuti’s, 2251 W Lake St, Addison, IL 60101, on Sunday, November 1, 2026, to benefit Camp One Step by Children’s Oncology Services. Camp One Step provides free year-round camp experiences for kids with cancer and their families that foster joy, belonging, confidence, and lifelong friendships.

Camp One Step has brought happiness, support, strength, and hope to hundreds of campers and their families yearly. Inclusion, accessibility, connections, and empowerment are core to their mission. At Camp One Step, kids make forever friendships, reclaim childhood, and families feel whole again. The camp is not a place; it is a community! Thanks to our community of campers, families, over 400 volunteers, and generous supporters like you, the magic of camp continues. They are celebrating 48 years since their inaugural camp program was launched in 1978. Today, they serve nearly 750 campers annually through eleven Camp One Step Programs.

If you are unable to attend, we would sincerely appreciate a donation or contribution to our event, which will help us raise funds to send more kids to the camp. On the back of this letter, you will find full details on how you can support this worthy cause. Any generosity is gratefully accepted, and our best wishes go to all our friends. Thanks for your consideration, and we hope you’ll join us in bringing smiles and joy to these inspiring children!

Grazie!

Sincerely yours,

Jackie Mazza
