The Garden Party Fashion Show – A Spring Event to Remember! It’s where we gather, have fun and celebrate “Building Homes. Inspiring Hope. Empowering Women”!
The Delta Winnipeg Ballroom was the place to be on Sunday, March 23rd for Habitat for Humanity – Women Build’s - Fourth Annual Garden Party Fashion Show.
Hosted by CBC’s Janet Stewart and Winnipeg comedian Dan Verville, guests were treated to an afternoon of fun and frivolity.
There weren’t too many dry eyes in the room when our 2013 homeowner, Zonia shared her heart-warming story about what the opportunity to purchase this home has meant to her family and building her future. Volunteers modelled trendy and funky fashions from Candie & Dolls, Rockabetty, Style Bar, Shelmerdine and ZEV Custom Apparel. Not only were the models very entertaining, their hair and makeup was perfect thanks to Nan Campbell and Aveda Institute. The beautiful platinum and silver diamond jewellery, worn by the models, was generously provided by Maison Birks.
We sincerely thank all of the event sponsors with special acknowledgement of the Presenting Sponsor - All Star Collision and Glass, the Platinum Sponsor – Wawanesa Insurance, and the Gold Sponsor – Qualico. A Special thank you to the Delta Winnipeg and amazing staff for their support as our Venue Sponsor. Our very special thank you to WestJet for their generous contribution of two tickets anywhere WestJet flies and congratulations to a long time Women Build volunteer, Sandi Fitzmaurice for winning! She is looking forward to a trip to Dublin, Ireland!
We are also very grateful to the many merchants who generously contribute to our fabulous Live and Rainbow Auction Prizes which makes fundraising so much more fun! It takes many to build one home, and by supporting this event, the building becomes easier. Thank you to the volunteer planning committee, and to all the guests, for attending and supporting The Garden Party Fashion Show. The event raised in excess of $17,000! See you next spring!
