High Heels & Handbags

Dermatologists estimate there are at least twenty varieties, ranging in severity. Approximately 16,000 babies are born each year with some form.

Through support of their friends & family, the community, local businesses, and many Cumming Local readers too, the Zavitz Family hosted a fundraising event – High Heels & Handbags to benefit FIRST.    And, I’m excited to say that the event is back!
