Southlake students take to the catwalk in thebrname of charity
For the National Charity League's Southlake chapter, payingbrit forward never goes out of style. Since 1998, the organization has raisedbrhundreds of thousands of dollars for local charities by putting on a fun andbrenergetic fashion show featuring Southlake Carroll junior and senior models.brThe show requires the tireless efforts, talents and resources of each of the chapter'sbr300 mother and daughter members and a year of planning and preparation.
On March 2,brthe Hurst Conference Center played host to the fashion forward event, which incorporatedbrprofessional choreography and featured 14 retail stores who generously donatedbrclothing and accessories — Al's Former Wear, Cache, Francesca's, Gap, GirligirlbrBoutique, Impeccable Pig, Lilly Pulitzer, Malouf's, Tyler's, Whatchamacallit,brGolf Galaxy, ZAR, Dillard's and The Limited. Of the 90 models who struttedbrtheir stuff, the girls received hair and makeup services from LemonGrass Salonsbrand Corinthian Wellness Spa, while Sport Clips styled male models' hair. Despitebr125 no-shows due to inclement weather, the fashion show was a smash success,brselling approximately 650 tickets.
Annually,brthe NCL Southlake chapter members provide more than 5,000 hours of communitybrservice hours to local philanthropies. The recipients of proceeds receivedbrthrough this year's ticket sales, sponsorships, donations and auctions includedbrGRACE Feed Our Kids, Summer Santa, Christmas is for Children, Stepping StonesbrFoundation, Metroport Meals on Wheels, The Battered Women's Foundation andbrSouthlake Special Olympics.
