Fashion for a Purpose takes place at Eastland Mall with proceeds benefiting Youth First
EVANSVILLE, IN – The community and media are invited on Saturday, August 9, at 1 pm CT to Fashion for a Purpose at Eastland Mall. This fashion show, featuring Hot 96’s Sarah Pepper as Master of Ceremonies, is a fun back-to-school event that blends fashion and community, with proceeds benefiting Youth First.
Volunteer models will walk the runway and feature styles from numerous Eastland Mall stores, including Aeropostale, American Eagle Outfitters, Buckle, Hollister Co., JCPenney, Lane Bryant, and Maurices.
The event runs from 1:00-2:00 pm CT and takes place in the Dillard’s wing of Eastland Mall. Donations are being accepted for Youth First, a local nonprofit dedicated to strengthening youth and families by embedding licensed mental health professionals in 130 K-12 partner schools across 14 Indiana counties. Youth First also provides prevention programs, community engagement, and parent resources that empower youth and families and promote healthy behaviors, correct misperceptions, and foster positive development in young people.
“Fashion for a Purpose is another example of Eastland Mall’s commitment to the community,“ says Eastland Mall marketing manager Sean Ferguson. “Working alongside Youth First for our first ever event has been a privilege and an honor. When we can advertise our stores and highlight the great work of Youth First in our community, it’s a win-win.”
