Many hands make for light work! Volunteer Committees are being formed to help bring this extravagant event to life! Whether you have a flare for design or love being in the details, we need your help! Use the volunteer registration link below to sign up.
We are also looking for ~ 40 men to volunteer at the event as Butlers and Sole Men. These gentlemen help greet guests, pour wine, sell raffle tickets, and man the floor during the live auction. They schmooze with the ladies to make sure all our guests are having a fabulous time!
Sole Men are volunteers who step up to help with event fundraising and receive additional marketing benefits and exclusive access to pre-sale tickets before they go on sale to the public. They commit to raise a minimum of $1,000 in sponsorships, donations, or ticket sales. These dapper dans and their business sponsor are promoted online in advance of the event. They are also given a custom link to share with their network to buy tickets during an exclusive pre-sale period or collect additional charitable donations. The Sole Man who raises the most money is crowned the King of Sole live on stage at the event! This is a great way for our male allies to be a part of the Wine Women & Shoes fun.
Sole Men also enjoy additional networking opportunities prior to the event, to meet other event sponsors and Sole Men, and have access to exclusive pre-sale ticket information to share with their network! Serving as a Sole Men is a fun, unique marketing opportunity that lets you connect directly with guests and promote the business brand before, during and after the event – all while supporting a great cause: women’s economic empowerment!
Invite a man you know and love to volunteer at Wine Women & Shoes 2024 as a Butler or and nominate them to serve as one of the coveted Sole Men by emailing winewomenshoes@fit.edu
Wine Women & Shoes is an amazing marketing opportunity to get your brand in front of 500 fashion-forward, empowered women.
