Thirty-two years ago, Nancy Keenan, Sheila Botti and Kathy Ryan agreed to open a resale shop to benefit Wellness House at the request of Keenan’s neighbor, Suzy Stout.
Sisters Keenan and Botti and Ryan (“like a sister”) met with a number of women who were going to be involved in the shop, which would help fund Wellness House‘s free programs for people faced with a cancer diagnosis and their families.
“We met at Wellness House and kind of formulated a plan,” Keenan said. “Shortly thereafter there was just the three of us.”
They were not deterred, however, and with the help of a host of volunteers and donors and support from Hinsdale Bank and Trust, the shop has thrived, earning millions for Wellness House programs and services.
