Channel your inner designer! Community members of all ages are invited to participate Project Funway to benefit Fresh Start (www.FreshStartHome.org),which will be held on Friday, November 20 at the Cornhusker Marriott Hotel.
The theme is transformation and designers repurpose thrift shop clothing to create a new, creative, original garment which will be featured in a runway show. A panel of judges, and event attendees, will select the winners of the competition. See entry form and rules: http://freshstarthome.org/events.
Boutiques are invited to participate as sponsors, and will have the opportunity to showcase an outfit from their shop at the beginning of the runway show. Sponsors also will be recognized during the event and in print and social media. Sponsorship levels range from $200 to $5,000.
In addition to the runway show, Project Funway will include a silent auction, hors d’oeuvres and desserts. The Daisy Thrift Shop will also have a booth. Event tickets are $40 each. VIP tickets are $60 each, and include a private reception and priority seating for the show.
All proceeds will benefit Fresh Start (www.FreshStartHome.org), a transitional shelter that empowers homeless women to change their lives by recognizing and utilizing their strengths to overcome barriers to self-sufficiency.
To request tickets, enter as a designer, become a sponsor, or for more information, please call (402) 475-7777 or email monicaz@freshstarthome.org.
