For the eighth year in a row, Pinellas-based charity Homeless Empowerment Program hosts its annual fashion show to help raise funds for its mission of “breaking the cycle of homelessness for individuals and families.”

At this fashion show models will strut down the runway donning sustainable outfits that can be found at HEP’s Clearwater thrift store.

Tickets include access to the show, hors d’oeuvres, boutique shopping, and the chance to win various raffle prizes. Proceeds from all ticket sales will support HEP’s Youth & Family Services.

And if you can’t make this weekend’s fundraising event, there’s a ton of different ways you can support this important local charity, there are still ways to support HEP’s mission.

Tickets to the HEP Fashion Show Fundraiser: Renewing Hope on the Runway Empowerment fashion show on Sunday, March 12 at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater are still available for $60.
