GenerosiTea Benefitting Footsteps to the Future

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Nov. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Early holiday shopping with a purpose! It's all about the girls with Footsteps to the Future, empowering young women in and aging out of foster care, to safely and successfully transition to living independently.

Footsteps to the Future helps young women break the cycle of abusive and addictive behaviors. They work to increase high school graduates including GED through their academic achievement program; decrease crime, drug and alcohol abuse; and reduce homelessness after leaving the system. The organization provides one-on-one and group mentoring to provide life skills training and encourage socialization for all participants. By matching a positive and compassionate woman to be a role model and mentor with a young woman, they are able to give them individualized care, attention and support by practicing evendence-based mentoring.

Join us for a fun filled afternoon at a beautiful country club. Tea or your favorite beverage will be available with light finger sandwiches, scones and desserts.

Fashions will be presented by Denimianco Boutique and Art of Fashion and Moore, both Fort Myers independently owned businesses. Girls participating in the Footsteps program will help model the fashions.

Chinese auctions, silent auctions, 50/50 drawing and Fund-A-Need live auction will take place. Over 15 vendors will be present to allow you to start your Christmas shopping and vintage hats from Pamela's Collection will be available to wear at the event for a small donation. A perfect way to top off your outfit!
