The evening will feature a boutique in GIMV’s vintage Airstream, a Velvet Lounge trunk show featuring curated customer donations, a silent auction, hors d'oeuvres and spirits, music, and a fashion show. Julie Gaver, author of the Must Love Shoes book series, will emcee and guests may recognize some local faces as models.
Outfits will be showcased throughout the show including weekend wear, business fashions, and party attire.

In order to unite the organization’s mission with this event, an annual awards celebration, recognizing the hard work and resilience of clients and staff will be incorporated into the fashion show.
