Couture for a Cause

Nonprofit: Children’s Cancer Connection

Date: April 2, 2017

Venue: Willis Auto Campus

Main Attraction: Charitable fashion runway show featuring the child undergoing cancer treatment as well as their families, nurses and doctors who support them as show models.

Unique Touch: Throughout the event planning process we have the privilege of getting to know these families and connect to their stories along the way. On the morning of couture its all about the models…pampering, styling by local retailers and hair and makeup along with entertainment and food. And then they take center stage to strut their stuff down the runway as we share their stories with the guests. Guests also enjoy pop up shops, silent auction, complimentary mimosa bar and brunch.

Food: Brunch by Tangerine, Mimosa Bar by RoCA

Bottom Line: $68,000

Photography: Gretchen Scott and Christopher Maharry
