Valparaiso University law students will host a fashion show Tuesday, March 20, 2012, featuring designer lines BCBG MAX AZRIA, Brooks Brothers and Buckle to raise money for breast cancer research through the American Cancer Society.
The 2nd Annual Catwalk for the Cure Charity Fashion Show will showcase men’s and women’s spring 2012 styles in casual, business, “pink” line (for breast cancer), and evening wear. Valparaiso law students will strut their stuff to feature cocktail dresses, business suits, jeans and tops, as well as shoes, purses, and sunglasses.
“The apparel we’ll model is the latest styles and fashions of 2012. We are featuring a ‘pink’ line this year that is in honor of cancer patients, survivors, and others who have been affected by this terrible disease,” said Courtney Miller, dual executive board member for the Valparaiso University Business Law Society and the VU Sports and Entertainment Law Association, the groups hosting the event.
All proceeds from ticket sales and donations will go to breast cancer research by means of the American Cancer Society. A silent auction throughout the evening will send several guests home with gift baskets valued up to $100 each.
“Our goal is to raise $5,000 to donate to the American Cancer Association,” said Miller, whose family was affected by breast cancer. “High school and university students and their families can help us reach that goal by purchasing a ticket and coming out for a night of fashion and fun.”
The 2nd Annual Catwalk for the Cure Charity Fashion Show will take place Tuesday, March 20 on campus at the Harre Union in Ballrooms B and C. Non-alcoholic cocktail hour begins at 6:00 p.m. and the fashion show begins at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $7 for students and $15 for general admission. Tickets can be purchased online, at the VU Law School or by contacting Courtney Miller at courtney.miller@valpo.edu.
