For the Love of Brittany
For the Love of Brittany

In August 2002, Janeen Sullivan’s 16 year old, daughter Brittany Crawford, was diagnosed with Leukemia. Brittany was looking forward to starting her junior year at Dearborn High. She was active on the Field Hockey Team and other school activities all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
Brittany was also the Red Wings #1 fan, attended many games, and met several of the players.
Her death on December 1, 2002 was unexpected. She was in remission, and despite that, she had developed an infection that spread through her system within a matter of hours. The Red Wings loved Brittany and even mentioned her passing on air during their next home game.
Brittany was a very special girl. She touched so many lives and she was an inspiration to so
many. Her positive attitude and genuine compassion for others, even when stricken, was a powerful force for those of uswho knew and loved her.
In 2004 three local women, Janeen Sullivan, Julie Sullivan and Judy McGinty set out to make The Dearborn Women’s Expo a reality. We wanted to bring an expo to the Dearborn Area similar to the Novi event.
Our mission statement is to offer something unique for women in the Dearborn area, with products and services that would be of interest to women and raise funds for various charities including The Children’s Leukemia Foundation of Michigan, Relay for Life, and a scholarship in Brittany's memory via the Stephen Bufton Memorial Educational Fund..
The Ford Community and Performing Arts Center is our venue. The expo takes place in the Dome Room. There’s so much going on at the Center that Dearborn Residents can benefit from and just don’t. This is a way to raise awareness for the Center and promote memberships. We began our first year, 2004, with 70 exhibitors and now we are maxed out at 104 exhibitors. Businesses vary – from jewelers, beauty, home improvement,arts, accessories, chiropractic, massage, spa, cooking, food items, and so much more! The fashion show begins at 1pm.
In the last few years, we were happy to welcome on average about 2,500 attendees. We draw women from all walks of life and ages from the surrounding 4 counties. This year’s goal is to see that number increase significantly. In addition,we’re looking for corporate sponsorship to increase our advertising budget. Advertising plays a significant role in the success of a show, but it can be costly.
Thanks for visiting and thank you for your continued support.
All the BEST!
