The Children’s Service Board (CSB), an affiliate organization of Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, hosted its crowd-favorite Gold Coast Fashion Award Show (GCFAS) in the fall, raising more than $1.1 million to benefit the hospital’s division of hematology, oncology, neuro-oncology, and stem cell transplantation. Revel Fulton Market in Chicago’s West Loop was set abuzz as guests enjoyed cocktails and a fashion competition among four emerging designers. Audience members voted and designer Michael De Paulo’s red-carpet inspired collection came out on top, receiving the prestigious Gold Coast Fashion Award. gcfas.com
