Sweet rewards from Silverland Desserts in Forest Park
A Forest Park bakery owner has announced an effort to support organizations that improve the lives of women and girls. Athena's Silverland Desserts and the Oak Park-River Forest Community Trust are looking for not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organizations that "enhance the lives and self-esteem of women and girls in need," said Chris Ogden, Silverland operations manager. The deadline for the grant is January 14, 2012.
Now 56, owner Athena Uslander was chosen in 2005 as one of five women to be model/spokeswomen for Unilever's Dove Pro-Age skin care products campaign, which sent her to Prague, Canada and Madrid. She also appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Uslander put her earnings from the campaign into a fund for women and girls, said Ogden. Other customers and well-wishers have also donated to the fund.
