On Aug. 17, LIPS Chicago presented its second annual Night of Stars featuring a special appearance by Cher impersonator Michael Dean.

The nearly sold-out event benefitted Connections of Abused Women and their Children, and featured a packed line up of performers. Among those appearing were Demi Sexton, Kenya Sanchez, Priscilla Rock, Kylee Hunter, Regine Phillips and several guest non-professional performers. The event also featured a raffle for three round-trip airline tickets provided by Spirit Airlines. Ms. Ruff ‘N’ Stuff served as Mistress of Ceremonies.

According to their organization website, Connections for Abused Women and Children is “committed to ending domestic violence. Using a self-help empowerment approach, we provide a shelter for adults and children, counseling, advocacy, and a 24-hour hotline for people affected by violence.”
