“The Life, The Love & The Passion of Fashion 2015” has been scheduled to raise funds for The Cancer Care Fund of Kosciusko County. The event will be 5:30 p.m. Saturday, April 25, at The Oakwood Resort Event Center, Syracuse.

The red carpet event will feature clothing for young kids, men’s ware, water sports attire, golf attire and ladies fashions. The spring runway show will feature the newest designer collections, shopping events and vendor exhibits.

There will also be heavy hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.

All proceeds of the net funds raised will go to The Cancer Care Fund to provide financial support to area residents suffering from cancer. An additional 20 percent of all merchandise purchased from the shopping event will also be given to the fund.

Each individual purchasing a ticket will receive a swag bag filled with items.

The spring fashion show with shopping events, will include local designers and businesses such as Satori Boutique, Glam Boutique, Carson’s, Bailey R. More Foundation, Stonehenge Country Club, Tippecanoe Country Club, Bart’s Watersports, The Lake House, Mark & Graham, Stephan Baby, and Absolutely Gifts. Thaddeus DuBois will be designing a special handbag for the event as well as some of his collection. Matilada Jane Clothing and Kay Rose Collection will also be among the participants. J Three Salon will be doing the hair and make up for the models.

Because this is a red carpet event, Sunrise Photography will be getting photographs of those attending as they enter the event center.

Nicole Kelley along with Lois Niemier and numerous others are coordinating this year’s show. Kelly and Niemier are no strangers to fashion shows. Kelly has hosted shows to raise funds for the B Moore Foundation in the fall and last year hosted the Lake Wawasee Summer Fashion Show and Luncheon to benefit Lakes area Autism Network. Niemier chaired several fashion shows in past years for the Cancer Care Fund and several other organizations.

“We are working several different angles to include as many local businesses and organizations as we can,” said Kelly.

Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased by calling (574) 269-5188 or ordering online at www.k21foundation.org. Those who are unable to attend but wish to support the cause may visit www.k21foundation.org/cancer-care-fund/ where donations can be made directly.
