When a group of women approached Meg Gaines last year and offered to do volunteer fundraising for her pioneering patient advocacy program, Gaines said it was like “manna from heaven.”
The group is now gearing up to stage its second major fundraiser for the Center for Patient Partnerships at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Thursday’s “If the Shoe Fits” features, among other things, an auction of shoe sculptures created by local and national artists.
