106th Annual House of the Good Shepherd Women's Board Brunch and Auction

House of the Good Shepherd has been a safe haven for women and children for over 153 years.  Their comprehensive program aims to break the cycle of violence in families through education, counseling, job and financial training, after-school care for children and ongoing family support services to ensure long-term recovery and a violence-free life.

HGS is funded entirely by individual gifts, grants and through monies raised at the annual brunch and auction.

This year's brunch is hosted by Lauren Jiggetts, co-anchor for NBC5 Weekend Evening News.  Auction items include: Pebble Beach Golf Experience; dinner with Ozzie Guillen (former White Sox coach) prepared by Chef Hans Aeschbacher (previously of Trader Vic's); and a trip to Tuscany with a private chef, tour of the Vatican and an audience with Pope Francis.
