Fashion For Freedom - 1 Week Away!

We are one week away from our much anticipated event, Fashion For Freedom!  The girls and I have accomplished many different tasks while planning this event: hiring a caterer, finding entertainment, volunteers, a venue, media coverage, equipment rental... this list goes on and on.  The evening will be filled with tons of great people, delicious food, fun beverages, silent auction items, merchandise for sale, and the main event: the fashion show!  If you don't already know, we've asked 20 local Edmonton and area artists to create two pieces of raw couture each using anything-but-fabric. (I.E. paper, plastic, metal, tape...) We are expecting some very creative pieces and, from the few we've seen so far, the audience will not be disappointed.  To add to the fashion show fun there will be dancers, singers, speakers, and a beautiful short film. (Check out a teaser of the film made by Joses Martin on our Facebook Page.) 

The most important part of this night is that all proceeds go to The A21 Campaign, an organization that exists to abolish injustice in the 21st Century.  They help rescue and provide the victims of human trafficking with a safe and comforting environment, with access to medical and psychological care, vocational training, secondary education assistance, counseling and access to legal assistance.

What is so heart-warming is how many people have come forward with generous offers to help, donate and volunteer.  We've received emails from strangers who, having planned similar events, offer us advice.  We've had companies donate exciting silent auction prizes such as an iPad, Chanel Sunglasses, Handmade Jewelry, and a flight for two anywhere in North America.  I'd like to give a special shout out to Poiema Gal, Candice Fiorentino, who is the heart and soul of this project.  She has been planning to throw an event of this grandeur for years now and it has finally come to fruition.  She has worked extremely hard in every aspect of planning this event and I believe she is a big part of why so many people want to be involved.  

Fashion For Freedom will take place Saturday, April 27th.  Doors open at 6:30pm.  Check out www.fashionforfreedom.ca for more information and how you can get tickets.  We hope to see you there!
