Organizers are calling an upcoming fundraiser fashion show for a local hospice society “classy and a little bit sassy.”
The sixth annual Fashionista Fashion Show put on by the Thrifty Boutique is happening on May 10, and it’s all in support of Chilliwack Hospice Society.
All 50-plus outfits come from the donated clothing at the thrift store, and will be modelled by volunteers on the night of the event.
“Some of our volunteers enter the show with trepidation but by the end of the night all are smiling and full of laughter,” said Thrifty Boutique manager Sandy Parker. “It is truly rewarding to see everyone on stage having as much fun as our audience.”
The fundraising event has become a highlight of the spring season for many. Each outfit is curated by Thrifty Boutique staff from donations received at the store. Following the show, featured items including clothing, shoes, and jewelry are available for sale.
Models vary in age from seven to 70, and include Thrifty Boutique volunteers, their grandchildren, Chilliwack Hospice Society directors, and members of the community.
Attendees can enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres and a complimentary glass of champagne while browsing a delightful pop-up shop, bid on items in a silent auction and penny social, and enter to win door prizes.
Thrifty Boutique hosts the annual Fashionista Fashion Show in support of Chilliwack Hospice Society on Friday, May 10 at Evergreen Hall. The event starts at 6 p.m. Tickets are $30 and available in-store at the Thrifty Boutique located at #101-7955 Evans Rd.
