Chicago, IL - A lavish flower market where attendees will be able to create their own table arrangements, and a runway show featuring fashions from top local & regional designers are among the highlights of Chicago House's much anticipated 2004 Spring Brunch & Fashion Show.

The annual event--now celebrating its 16th year of raising funds for the housing needs of individuals and families impacted by HIV/AIDS--will be held on Sunday, April 25, from 11:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. at the Winter Garden Room of the Harold Washington Library, 400 S. State Street. Accompanied by the city’s best silent auction, plus Broadway style dance and production numbers, this year’s fashion show is slated to bring in over $60,000 in support of Chicago House.

Models will be sporting fiery fashions from His Stuff, Body Body, Marilena, Eye Cetera, MAC Cosmetics, Salon 1800 and much more in this year’s “To Fire From Ice” fashion show.

Put on your Sunday clothes, grab a mimosa and enjoy a lavishly catered meal. Reserve your table before the 6th consecutive sellout!

Today it is the city's largest source of housing for those impacted by the disease. Chicago House oversees programs in four key service areas: family support, supportive living, independent living, as well as expanded community case management. It houses more than 130 adults and children each year.
