High Heels and Handshakes held its red-hot “Hearts on Fire” Valentine’s networker on Wednesday evening, Feb. 13, at Crave in the Village of Merrick Park.

Guests contributed a $20 cover charge of $10 plus the donation of high heels or a formal gown to benefit the Dress for Success and Women of Tomorrow programs. And in honor of Women of Tomorrow, women who wore red received a raffle ticket to win a gift basket from Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.

Participants enjoyed champagne and decadent desserts along with music provided by Evie Cruz.
