November 7, 2017
or 10 years, The Social Connection’s Little Black Dress Charity Soiree has been rounding up metro Detroit’s most generous – and most stylish – for a high-energy evening of fashion, gaming, wine and, most importantly, giving.
Regina Stocco, owner of The Social Connection, says attendees can expect "a very fast-paced evening, lots going on."
This night of abundance is scheduled for Nov. 17, but the fun isn’t just for fun. In the last several years, a portion of the soiree’s proceeds has been donated to CARE House of Oakland County https://www.carehouse.org , an organization that aids victims of child abuse and neglect. Stocco estimates close to $75,000 has been donated so far – call it cabernet for a cause. It sells out, so snag tickets soon.
