Thank You to Our Sponsor: Chrysalis
Our annual event could not happen without our sponsorship partners who help us raise funds to provide vital preventative services to uninsured food & beverage workers. This year, we'd like to highlight Chrysalis and all the wonderful work they do.
Founder Sabina Khan Benavides created Chrysalis in 2000, offering personalized service and individualized, results-oriented skincare to each and every client. Sabina chose the name Chrysalis, since it is the wondrous vehicle of nature from which a butterfly emerges. The Chrysalis team excels at providing state-of-the-art modalities and ancient techniques in a truly blissful and caring environment.
We are so grateful for the ongoing support we’ve had from Sabina and her staff – they have been there for every event and silent auction since our beginnings, and this year are generously underwriting Galentine’s Day. This support enables us to compensate our participants as well as meet our fundraising goals – this is what is needed for charitable participation to be a sustainable venture for the food and beverage industry.
If you have not visited Chrysalis, please treat yourself. While an hour or a half-day of spa experiences is not the definition of self-care, the practice of prioritizing our wellness - of being in the moment, of exhaling, of mindfully taking note of all we have to be grateful for – can indeed be nurtured by carving out time for ourselves.
Thank You to our Supporters
Thank you to everyone who helped us assemble and deliver this year’s bags. Also, thank you to JŪN for hosting us.
Galentine's Day proceeds will fund our 5th Annual Mobile Mammogram Day (on Monday, March 24). Via the proceeds of this gift collection and our partnership with The Rose, we’ll fund up to 75 state-of-the-art 3D mammograms. Please connect your favorite waiters, bartenders and cooks with IHWSH, and consider a donation to advance our mission.
