Nassau, The Bahamas -
After
one month of planning, 2 shows, and $5,000.00 in donated funds, the Fashion for Foundation Benefit is back for a
second year showcasing collections by Cardell McClam, Harl Taylor BAG, Ria
Georgina, Leah Eneas, DKLYPSE Swimsuits, a special clothing collection by POJ
Designs and many others.
According to Shelby McPhee, Executive
Producer of The F4F Benefit, this year’s show is a “special” one. He says
“while we are extremely proud of last year and our great accomplishment, this
year our heart is even more invested as we aim to raise money to fund a
building project that we’ve undertaken for the children’s shelter. He went on
to say “this year with a renewed passion and a stronger support system we’ve
invested more into staging, we’ve added more lights and increased staffing to make
the overall guest experience a more enjoyable one.”
In addition to a better
experience the coordinators of this year’s F4F Benefit will also launch,
The Hearts on Fire Foundation, a new
community non profit organization in hopes of creating sustainable programs to
tackle and address the social issues in society today. According to Yamease
Swain, Director of Programs “we understand that each person must do what they
can to make a positive impact within the community, and so with that
understanding our organizations goal is to channel our time, talents and
resources into creating that positive impact and making an even greater
difference.”
The Fashion for Foundation
Benefit Show is an annual high-voltage fashion show in aid of the Ranfurly
Homes for Children proudly supported and sponsored by The Water & Sewerage Cooperation,
BTC, Colombian Emeralds International, AmarKai Designs, thebahamasweekly.com, MOJOS
