A fashion show and fundraiser in Key Biscayne this Thursday will support the Sunshine Kids Foundation, a nonprofit that brings joy and support to children in cancer treatment. The event starts at 11 a.m. Nov. 12 at the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne.
Attendees can watch runway looks, shop pieces from 30 brands on site and enter a raffle. The models are local women, including business owners and school leaders, rather than professional runway models.
Event organizer Vivian Galego-Mendez said the fundraiser was inspired by the generosity of the Key Biscayne community. She said the Sunshine Kids program runs in 85 hospitals nationwide, with four of them in South Florida.
The foundation helps families with back-to-school and college expenses, hosts celebrations and offers free trips for young patients. Tickets were still available at the time of the report. Details and ticket purchases are handled through the Key Biscayne Community Foundation website.
