Fresh Start Invites Local Clothing Designers, Boutiques to Participate in Project Funway

Channel your inner designer! Community members are invited to participate in this year’s Project Funway event, to be held on Friday, November 18 at the Cornhusker Marriott Hotel.

The theme is transformation and designers repurpose thrift shop clothing to create a new, creative, original garment. All of the garments will be featured in a runway show during the event. A panel of judges, and event attendees, will select the winners of the competition. All ages are welcome to participate. See entry form and rules at 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, in print and social media. Sponsorship levels range from $250 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 contact Audrey at (402) 475-7777 or audreyb@freshstarthome.org.
