Your Say (July 4-10, 2019)
A high-spirited crowd of 350 had a lot of fun and raised a lot of money during the 11th annual Fashion for a Cause, bringing in nearly $135,000 for Chesapeake kids. Held June 6 at Porsche Annapolis, the annual event raises funds and awareness for the Hospice of the Chesapeake program that supports children living with and affected by advanced illness and loss.
Serving as the event’s emcee was Andi Hauser, host of WUSA9’s Great Day Washington. The looks modeled by 21 community members included summer fashions and accessories provided by Annapolis clothing retailers 3 Sisters, Anthropologie, Charm City Run, Evolutions, Helly Hansen, J. McLaughlin, JoS. A. Bank, The Lucky Knot, The Pink Crab, Scout & Molly’s Boutique and South Moon Under.
Many delicious nibbles and sips were provided by a dozen different vendors, including food by Carpaccio Tuscan Kitchen, Sailor Oyster Bar and Vida Taco Bar.
The event was generously supported by community businesses and leaders, including The Wilburn Company, Porsche Annapolis and Charter Financial Group; Fashionista Sponsors The Appliance Source, M&T Bank and Bill and Laura Westervelt; and dozens more.
