I promise this will be the most unique fashion show you will attend in the world. CARH, Inc. and KKIQ 101.7 Radio Host & DJ Steve Fox are kicking off CARH’s 24th annual fashion show. What makes it so unique? The models are CARH’s clients who are intellectually disabled, and the clothing that they will be modeling are from CARH’s partner’s Thrift Town stores. You might recognize the charity name, CARH, Inc. around town as they pick up donations in order to support their many programs and services that benefit the special needs community. So if you can’t make this event, CARH will pick up your household donations or you can drop them off at the three Thrift Town store locations in the East Bay. Of course we accept cash donations as well . It all goes to a great cause!
The staying with the theme “Cruisin’ with CARH” Models will be dressed as though they are on a cruise through the Greek Islands. There is no better place to host this fabulous event then our very own “Resurrection Greek Orthodox Church” which hosts a wonderful Greek Food Festival annually in October. Consider it a warm up to all of the Greek Festivals that will be held this summer with awesome Greek bands and scrumptious Greek Foods!
(Some Auction Items)
If that doesn’t entice you, there are awesome raffle prizes and auction items that you can get for a steal. Prizes range from fine restaurant gift certificates to an electric guitar, trips, one being to DISNEYLAND and beautiful pieces of jewelry, all possible because of the generosity of the local business community. Director Mary Gianopoulos always puts on a great show that will tantalize all your senses. It will be the best 30 bucks you’ll ever spend. Get tickets at CARH 510-537-6611.
