2nd Annual Womenade Miami Take a Walk in Her Shoes – a Luncheon and Fashion Show in Support of Community Partnership for Homeless
MIAMI, FL – The second annual Take a Walk in Her Shoes silent auction, luncheon and fashion show will be held on Thursday, May 19, at The Biltmore Hotel from 11:00 am to 1:30 p.m., to benefit Community Partnership for Homeless (CPH). This year, the event co-chairs are Bronwyn Miller and Irene Korge.
This inspirational event has become vital to raising awareness for the services and programs, and raising the much needed funds to support the men, women and children who reside at CPH looking to rebuild their lives. This year, models will strut the runway wearing exquisite vintage fashions presented by C. Madeleine’s with direction from Danny Santiago and hair styling and makeup from RIK RAK Salon.Boutique.Bar. CBS-4 on-air host Sharon Hori will serve as the fashion show and program emcee. The luncheon will honor six outstanding community philanthropists: Brenda Nestor Castellano, Jeanie Hernandez, Nicole Lozano, Tracy Wilson Mourning, Connie Russell and Electra Spillis.
Guests will also enjoy a sumptuous champagne cocktail reception, along with a silent auction and raffle with scores of stunning items including jewelry, theatre tickets, dinner certificates, hotel stays, paintings, gourmet gift baskets and much, much more. The festive décor will feature floral centerpieces designed and donated by Belle Fleur.
“The Talk a Walk in Her Shoes fashion show helps raise awareness and funds used to help the women and children who reside at the Community Partnership for Homeless centers looking to regain a footing in life. Through the fashion show we have raised much needed dollars to financially support the programs offered at the centers. The support at the 2010 fashion show was immeasurable and only reinforces our believe that the Take a Walk in Her Shoes fashion show will continue to make a difference in the lives of the women and children in our centers,” stated Dan Vincent, CPH Executive Director.
All of the proceeds from Take a Walk in Her Shoes fashion show will benefit Community Partnership for Homeless, which is dedicated to helping men, women and children in need of shelter, food and a strong support system. CPH programs and services include housing, food, health care, dental care, psychiatric care, job training, case management and child care and more. As a not-for-profit, this event is an important source of funding for CPH to help the homeless in our community find stability and self-sufficiency.
