Myrtle Beach Hosts Unique Fashion Fundraiser to Combat Homelessness and Poverty
This year, Myrtle Beach is gearing up for a fashion extravaganza like no other! The 9th annual Compassion Through Fashion fundraiser is set to take place on March 1 at 6 p.m. at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, and it’s all in the name of a good cause. This annual event, hosted by a local nonprofit known as New Directions, focuses on tackling some of the most pressing issues in our community, such as homelessness, poverty, and addiction.
Fashion with a Purpose
So what makes this event so special? The fundraiser showcases unique fashion items handcrafted from recycled materials. Talk about creativity! Picture this: a stunning dress made entirely out of grocery bags, boots cleverly designed from bottle tops, and a funky purse made out of—you guessed it—duct tape. These innovative designs reflect not just artistic flair, but also a commitment to sustainability and resourcefulness.
Numerous talented designers will be competing in various fun categories including most creative, most humorous, most wearable, and of course, the people’s choice award. With over 25 designers expected to showcase their eye-catching works, attendees can look forward to a night filled with inspiring art and fashion.
A Fun Night Out
As if the impressive fashion lineup wasn’t enough, the event promises to be a wonderful evening filled with delightful experiences. Attendees can enjoy drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and a chance to participate in raffles. There’ll even be a photo booth so you can capture those glamorous moments! And let’s not forget the live entertainment that will set the mood for the evening.
Get Your Tickets Now!
If this sounds like a night you wouldn’t want to miss, it’s important to snag your tickets quickly. Priced at $75, these tickets tend to sell out rapidly, so purchasing in advance is highly recommended! Plus, the proceeds from this fantastic fundraiser will directly assist in providing the basic needs, resources, and community support for locals who are facing tough times. How great is it that you can have a fun night out while helping those in need?
Building on Last Year’s Success
According to New Directions, this year’s event is expected to build on the success of last year, making it an even more exciting occasion for both participants and attendees alike. With over 500 people usually showing up, the atmosphere is always buzzing with positivity and purpose.
