Tickets are still available for Pace Center for Girls, Lee’s Funky Fashion Show, returning Tuesday, July 15 at Chico’s Corporate Campus in Fort Myers.
The Funky Fashion Show is a high-energy, purpose-driven event that brings together fashion, sustainability and philanthropy in support of at-promise girls throughout Southwest Florida. The event showcases upcycled and reimagined fashion pieces designed from recycled materials, alongside runway features from Chico’s, White House Black Market and Soma.
Building on the legacy of Pace Lee’s beloved Love That Dress! Event – a fashion-forward shopping fundraiser held for nearly 15 years in Lee County – the evening also features exclusive access to the popular Chico’s Sample Sale from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Shopping will be followed by the main event from 5:30 to 9 p.m., featuring the fashion show and prize drawings. A limited number of individual General Admission tickets are still available for $75 each.
“This is a new twist on two popular fundraising events – continuing the fun and creativity of our Funky Fashion Show while bringing in the shopping and spirit that was enjoyed at our popular Love That Dress! event for so many years,” said Jennifer Cellitti, executive director of Pace Lee. “Most importantly, we’re raising impactful funds that will empower the success of girls and young women right here in Lee County.”
The Funky Fashion Show supports Pace Lee in providing girls and young women an opportunity for a better future through education, counseling, training and advocacy. Pace programs are based on the belief that all girls and young women, regardless of race, ethnicity or socioeconomic status, should be uniquely cared for, supported and encouraged to become the best versions of themselves through a path of healing and recovery.
The event is presented by Chico’s with major sponsors including Suncoast Credit Union Foundation and Hodges Funeral Home.
