Hitting the Runway for a Cause! from Betty & Lori

Last week, I was invited to the Family and Children's Services Red Carpet fund raiser in my town. Lori was a committee member and asked if I would walk the runway and model a few of the dresses she carries in the boutique. Of course, I said yes! I was excited to meet New York designer Marissa Webb, and overjoyed to see women ranging from 18 to 50+ throw on their confident smile and strut the catwalk! The models volunteered and a vast majority of the people attending the event donated their services, time and money to help Family and Children's Services raise funds for abused and neglected children. Family& Children's Services (FACS) is an independent non-profit behavioral health and social services agency based in Elizabeth, NJ serving Union County and the surrounding areas with an emphasis on those most vulnerable, at-risk, disadvantaged and under-served. FACS counts on public donations and I was happy take part in the event.
