I was an official & proud sponsor for the Heeling Diabetes Event. The event was held at Shula's 347 Grill Buckhead.
At this event, shoes are audition off and sold to the highest bidder and the funds are raised to help find a cure for Diabetes.

The Heeling Diabetes Foundation is very dear to my heart as my husband and my in-laws suffer from Diabetes. This is just my way of giving back... so I'm VERY supportive of this foundation.
