Raising Funds in Style!


Nassau, Bahamas- The Fashion 4 Foundation Benefit (F4F Benefit) is proud to present its first Charity Fashion Show, which will be held at 6pm on Saturday, August 2nd, 2014 in aid of The Ranfurly Homes for Children.

DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, the show is moving to the Dundas Center for Performing Arts.

In a recent Tribune news article it was stated, "The Ranfurly Home may have to close its doors for good after nearly 60 years if it is not able to raise the $400,000 needed to keep the orphanage open.

... it takes about $20,000 a month to keep the home up and running, and
accommodates up to 45 children ranging in age from five to twenty.

The Ranfurly Home has been a safe haven for thousands of Bahamian children since 1956, providing shelter and a new life for those who have been orphaned, abused, neglected or abandoned and placed there by the Department of Social Services."

As a nonprofit community organization which provides financial support to The Ranfurly Homes for Children, Shelby McPhee, Founder & Producer of The F4F Benefit says, "We got a tremendous response from our local designers and it's going to be a great show. We urge the community to come out and enjoy a great night and help in this worthy cause."

Showcasing fashions on Saturday night will be Herc & Lisa, Indira Moss, David Rolle, Dklypse Swimwear, Project One Jewels, and a lingerie line by Ardyss International, among others.

Bahamian recording artist and Icon winner, Julien Believe, the creator of The Caribbean Slide, will be headlining the entertainment and local singer songwriter Shaton will also perform. 

Fashion 4 Foundation Benefit will be an annual high-voltage fashion show that will make a big impact and contribute to the lives of countless youth.  At showtime on August 2nd the lights will go up and the outside of The Ranfurly Home will be transformed into a runway environment. Come and support, and bring your friends.

Tickets are $25 general admission and $35 for VIP, and can be purchased in advance at Bijoux Turner (Marathon Mall), Cigars & Smokes, Trinity One (325-1411), and The Ranfurly Home.  Tickets will also be available at the door.

The show is powered by BTC, BRUTHA Magazine, TheBahamasWeekly.com, and Moss Computers.
