Tootsies, not only known to many of us as the chic place to shop for our finest and most stylish wardrobe essentials has also developed quite a reputation for all of its many charitable events that it sponsors throughout the year. It has always been respected as an establishment that not only dresses the community but gives back to its many causes as well.
Recently I attended a 25th Anniversary Gala for a charity that owners, Donna and Norman Lewis, have supported on a personal level for many years and were the honorees at this special 25th Anniversary Bash! I left there impressed with both the charity and with the many things that this dynamic duo have contributed of their time and resources to this very worthwhile cause.
The event that honored Donna and Norman and chaired by Dr. John and Mrs. Sylvia Zerwas, raised more than $1 million.
In addition to honoring the Lewis’ for this occasion, also being honored were Dr. David and Mrs. Bette Chenault, Mr. James and Mrs. Lucy Parker and Dr. Mark and Mrs. Debra Woolf. Also honored, but unable to be present was Guatemalan volunteer, Armando Nájera-Morales
About Faith In Practice and its life changing medical mission…… Faith In Practice is a non-profit, ecumenical Christian organization that seeks to improve the physical, spiritual, and economic conditions of the poor in Guatemala through integrated surgical, medical, and dental mission trips and health-related educational programs.
Faith In Practice is committed to serving the poor of Guatemala through short-term medical mission trips that take an integrated approach to care that strives to reach those in the greatest need. Each year, more than 1,500 medical professionals and support personnel from across the United States and world travel to Guatemala, paying their own direct expenses to serve the poor through Faith In Practice. Each year, nearly 1,000 Guatemalan volunteers work beside these volunteers in this endeavor. Faith In Practice teams see more than 30,000 patients annually. Their volunteers serve through a variety of teams that are connected, providing a continuity of care in the context of short-term medical mission.
