On October 14, pure excitement filled the room as 12 fabulous models — including dedicated volunteers and clients living with disabilities — strutted down the runway.

They proudly showcased pre-loved fashions across five categories, from elegant bridal wear to classic little black dresses. Guests enjoyed complimentary champagne, nibbles, and a silent auction.

Community spirit shone bright, with every single dollar raised on the night donated directly to the cause, proving second-hand style can make a truly first-class impact.
