LANSING, MI –If you’ve never been to the Sparrow Dapper Dads Challenge and Fashion Show, you’re in for a treat. Twenty-five of Mid-Michigan’s most prominent professionals – from physicians to bankers to everything in between -- will strut their stuff down the Delta Dental runway as they compete to raise money to support women’s health in the Mid-Michigan region. It’s loud, it’s raucous, and it’s loads of fun. The top finishers will be featured in the 2022 Dapper Dads calendar. Through the years, the Dapper Dads Challenge has raised more than $3 million to support women’s health in Mid-Michigan and is organized by Women Working Wonders (W3), a committee of the Sparrow Foundation. The event has been generously sponsored by Kositchek’s since its inception. This year’s runway sponsor is Delta Dental.
Where: Downtown Lansing in front of Kositchek’s, 113 N. Washington Square.
When: Thursday, Sept. 23. VIP reception at 5:30 p.m., general admission and fashion show start at 6:30 p.m.
There are 24 Dapper Dad participants this year, all competing to get the most votes and raise the most money in order to be on the Sparrow Foundation’s annual Dapper Dads calendar.
Dapper Dads is an annual event organized by W3. It culminates with the Dapper Dads Challenge & Fashion Show, which will be held Sept. 23 outside Kositchek’s, 113 N. Washington Square, Lansing. Since its inception, this popular event has raised more than $4 million in support of the physical and psychological health of women in Mid-Michigan.
Founded in 2002 by Lansing entrepreneur Virginia Hilbert, W3 works tirelessly to support women’s health. The committee comprises more than 35 professional women from the Lansing area. Thanks to community philanthropy, W3 has supported or funded a state-of-the-art breast biopsy machine, a $250,000 machine that reduces radiation treatment for patients, and much more.
