Be A Shoe Guy!

Shoe Guys are charismatic gentlemen who engage in peer-to-peer fundraising for A Safe Place, competing for the coveted title of "King of Sole." In addition to raising critical funds, they enhance the Wine Women & Shoes experience by showcasing luxury items such as designer shoes, handbags, and exclusive auction packages. Their charm and enthusiasm help drive donations, elevate the event’s energy, and make a lasting impact in the fight against domestic violence and human trafficking.

A Safe Place is the only organization in Lake County, Illinois dedicated solely to supporting victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. Through comprehensive programs, we help survivors rebuild their lives, prevent future abuse through targeted abuser intervention, and educate the community on how we can all play a role in ending domestic violence and human trafficking.

Our goal is to foster a community-wide response to domestic violence and human trafficking by educating others on their causes and how to effectively address them. By breaking the cycle of abuse, we can create safer, healthier communities for all. All services are offered free of charge to survivors.
