Location: Shenandoah Country Club in West Bloomfield, MI
Guests: 600
Description: This was another exciting night that brought awareness and resources to ten local charities in the Metro-Detroit area. We also successfully promoted ten local salons and ten local clothing boutiques. The impetus for the event is to promote locally owned small businesses by pairing a salon, providing beauty and makeup, with boutiques, providing clothing and models.
Each pairing selected a charitable organization in the community and sold tickets on their behalf. A portion of every ticket sold went to that charity and the charity that sold the most tickets, received a grand prize donation of $5,000 immediately following the runway show.
Chavari chairs and VIP booths surrounded the runway stage as strolling hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, deserts and late night snacks were available for guests to enjoy.
We are proud to serve the community and raise awareness for these worthy charities, and will always keep this event in promotion of small business.
