Last year, a group of Austin women decided to raise funds for loveisrespect.org, The National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline which is located in Austin, by producing a fashion show featuring prom attire modeled by local teens. In their first year, they raised $28,000 to benefit the Helpline.
For its second year, A Day to Shine: Prom Day Fashions Morning to Night has been set for 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday March 28, at the Austin Country Club. Members of Westlake High School’s student organizations GETMAD (Girls Engaged to Make a Difference) and GENTS (Guys Exhibiting Needed Traits in Society) will model fashions from Dillard’s department store.
This event is not just about fashion or teens. Organizers of the event include parents of Austin teens who are committed to both raising funds for the organization, raising awareness of the issue of teen dating abuse and helping teens learn about giving back to their community.
Tickets are available at www.loveisrespect.org , by calling 512.685.6237 or probles@tcfv.org
