Glamazons Against Domestic Violence

Chicago, IL - Random Glam Wigs & Accessories is using glamour to shine a light on domestic violence Nov. 1 with Glamazons Against Domestic Violence. The event, which will be held from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. at 7207 S. Exchange Ave., will benefit Annie’s Legacy, a women’s resource center in South Shore that provides one-on-one mentoring and life skills training to domestic violence survivors.

Glamazons Against Domestic Violence will feature entertainment, including a special performance by a local spoken word artist, who also is a survivor of an abusive relationship. Guest will have an opportunity to find out more about Annie’s Legacy, the fight against domestic violence and how to become mentors to women in need. Hor d’oeuvres will be sponsored by Chef Sara’s Café, 7201 S. Exchange Ave., Chicago. Raffle items will include several one-year memberships to the YMCA, one-of-a-kind handcrafted jewelry, handbags and more.  

“Domestic violence continues to be one of the most 
unreported crimes in our society,” said Annie’s Legacy founder, Beverly Billy. “Many women blame themselves or are too ashamed to 
report the abuse for fear of judgment.  Silence perpetuates violence.  Let’s be the voice for the voiceless.  Annie’s Legacy is looking for a few ‘good 
girlfriends’ to help us help survivors.”

Attendees will learn more about the organization and how to become a mentor or “Good Girlfriend” to survivors. Proceeds from the $10 donation at the door and raffles will benefit Annie’s Legacy.  The organization also will receive partial proceeds from all wigs, handbags and accessories sold that evening.

“As a small business committed to empowering women to look and feel fabulous, we are passionate about supporting women in need,” said LaTrina Shepherd, owner of Random Glam, Inc. “We’re proud to help generate discussion about the devastation that domestic violence causes and to support such an amazing organization devoted to assisting survivors.”

Annie's Legacy was founded in 2006 by Beverly Billy, who was 
inspired by her mother's ability to successfully escape domestic abuse. Beverly recognized the need for a resource center that provides women with knowledge, a sense of empowerment, and the skills to become self-reliant. The 501(c)3 organization provides one-on-one mentoring program to help women dealing with domestic abuse, poverty, under-education, and under employment.
