18 Nov 2013 Shopping for a good cause
“Shopping for a good cause” has been a motto for Dazzle Daze over the years.
Dazzle Daze 2013, which begins this Thursday and goes through Saturday at the Conway Expo Center and Fairgrounds, continues that tradition. The good news is tickets are still available at the door for most events or by calling 501.513.5778.
In the past 11 years, Dazzle Daze has raised more than $360,000 in support of health care at Conway Regional Health System benefiting the neonatal intensive care nursery, the cardiology program, a scholarship for area health students, programs for senior citizens and many others. The Conway Regional Women’s Council will direct Dazzle Daze proceeds toward the expansion of the Women’s Center and surgical facilities as well as fund a medical scholarship and scholarships to the Conway Regional Health & Fitness Center. All net proceeds from Dazzle Daze will go toward these projects.
501 LIFE is proud to serve as Presenting Sponsor for this year’s event. Those attending Dazzle Daze are invited to stop by the 501 booth for a “sweet surprise.”
Some of principle attractions this year are:
