The retail store Flo’s on 7^th hosted its Seventh Annual Heels for Healing fundraiser Oct. 3. The event was presented by The Arizona Attorney General’s Office of Mark Brnovich and sponsored by Biltmore Besties, MicroAge and Debbie Gaby Charities.

This year’s event was chaired by longtime Florence Crittenton supporter Debbie Gaby and raised more than $35,500, which directly supports Florence Crittenton’s programs to empower girls and young women in the community.

The event also helped raise awareness for the agency, which is one of the oldest social service entities in the Valley. Florence Crittenton has been helping to heal the effects of abuse nad neglect on young girls and their families for 119 years.

“The popularity of this event extends beyond Florence Crittenton supporters and Flo’s on 7^th patrons,” said Dr. Kellie Warren, CEO. “The incredible merchandise at unbeatable prices draws strong community support each year and as a result, strong support for the girls and young women we serve.”

Preceding the Heels for Healing event was the Annual Diva Dash sponsored by Picnic Specialties, featuring a series of races with participants wearing high heels.
