Join us for this inaugural Collier County teen community project on Saturday, December 10th at the Barron Collier Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. The evening promises plenty of fun and prizes!
Event co-chairs Erin Clawson and Ali Martin created the teen fashion show so that high school students could earn much needed volunteer hours and have fun with friends, all while supporting a great cause. Over 80 students from five high schools in Collier County, one middle school, plus Florida Gulf Coast University and Edison State College are participating in this event, don’t miss it! Guests are encouraged to bring a book for a child in need.
