2021

Dear Friends,

As a preventative measure to help control the transmission of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in accordance with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Daisie Foundation will postpone our annual two events that are part of our yearly Mother’s Day Outreach Initiative: the Leading Ladies Luncheon, and the Mother’s Day Makeover.

These events will be rescheduled at a later time.

We at the Daisie Foundation want to ensure the safety of our team, executive board, the Essie Ambassador’s board, our partners, ambassadors, volunteers, and all the mothers and leading women we impact. We encourage everyone to follow the most up-to-date public health recommendations from the CDC, and the foundation sends our best wishes to the entire Daisie extended family in this challenging moment.

Thank you for your continued support of the Daisie Foundation, and we will be in touch with further updates. For the most up-to-date announcements, please visit our COVID-19 webpage dedicated to these messages.

Stay well.

Sincerely,
The Daisie Foundation Team

GOAL: Inspiring women by bringing together
female leaders to connect, listen, and learn.

While our annual Leading Ladies Luncheon has become known as the largest pre-Derby event in Chicago, it’s really a platform for successful women to share their personal, behind-the-scenes accounts so that, together, women can lift each other up.
From our ongoing Women’s Panel Series, fashion show, and keynote speeches to fireside chats with Leading Lady Honorees in business, health, education and community, this event exists to inform and inspire.
Here we encourage self-expression in thought and fashion, with an emphasis on staying true to yourself, your passions, and the goals you seek to achieve. Because together we can, and we will.
