Dina Manzo, the founder of Project Ladybug and former Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member, is in Chicago Wednesday. She started Project Ladybug to ease the struggles of childhood cancer through financial and emotional support for patients and their families. It was founded in New Jersey, and due to its success it has expanded to New York and Chicago.
The Chicago chapter is called Atia's Project Ladybug Fund. It's dedicated in the name of a 3 year-old girl who was diagnosed with cancer at 17 months old. The Chicago chapter is affiliated with Comer Children's Hospital at University of Chicago. So, all funds raised stay in Chicago. Manzo is helping host the chapters first "Treads and Threads" soiree.

To honor Atia's Project Ladybug Fund at Comer Children's Hospital at The University of Chicago, Project Ladybug is set to host their premiere Chicago soiree, Treads and Threads on Thursday, April 7th at 7pm at Grossinger City Autoplex.
