On July 9, the Shops of Oakwood will open their doors and their hearts for a fun-filled night of giving and glamour. “Shopping For Good in the Wood” is a day devoted entirely to giving back to both our customers and our community.
Each of the Oakwood boutiques has chosen a local charity and have happily committed to donate 20 percent of the day’s sales toward each organization. From Inside Out will give to The Human Race Theatre Co.; Whispers to Clothes That Work; Gamine to The Mark Kreusch Memorial Fund “A Component Of The Dayton Foundation”; Preen Apothecary to The Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton Food Pantry; Collage to Culture Works; Luzia’s Boutique for the Alzheimer’s Association and Get Dressed to The Humane Society of Greater Dayton.
And because giving feels so good, each store will be celebrating the day with special in-store events and a complementary store-to-store Wine Tasting generously donated by The Cork & Vine Wine Market and Lounge from 4-8 p.m.
“Shopping For Good In The Wood” is the first of what the Oakwood boutiques hope are many such nights where giving and receiving go hand in hand!
