Fresh Start (freshstarthome.org) is excited to announce its largest fundraiser of the year, on Friday, November 15, at the Cornhusker Marriott Downtown. Project Funway, a design competition, collaborates with students from the UNL Textiles, Merchandising & Fashion Design program and community designers.
Sponsors, guests and attendees at the event will have the opportunity to witness a stunning display of creativity as models strut down the runway in one-of-a-kind garments crafted from repurposed thrift items.
In addition, there will be hors d’ oeuvres, desserts and a silent/live auction with some exciting items to bid on throughout the evening. This event is not just about fashion and fun; it is also a chance to connect and network with like-minded individuals and organizations passionate about empowering women and fostering independence. The event’s proceeds will support Fresh Start and its continuous initiatives to help women facing homelessness in our community.
Fresh Start is committed to assisting women experiencing homelessness and aiding them in overcoming challenges to achieve self-sufficiency.
