How It Works:
These are great
events to run in a school or church auditorium that has a stage. Money is made from attendance fees, the sale
of food and beverages baked by parents and students, as well as any donated
items. Fashions are loaned by area
merchants and boutiques, in exchange for having their names published in an
event brochure that’s handed out to all of the attendees. Donated food and other items for sale or to
be raffled are usually displayed at the entrance to the auditorium.
A boy and girl
team is usually chosen to be the host and hostess for the events of the
evening. At the end, this team calls up
all the “fashion models” for applause, and makes any other announcements.
Ideas to
Consider:
Sometimes a
silent auction (see Silent Auctions) can
be run at the start of this event, and then everyone moves inside to watch the
fashion show. Silent auction winners can
then be announced between show segments, while the kids are changing into their
fashions.
Source of Idea: Unknown. The author was invited to a fashion show that
was put on in Newbury Park, CA at a local middle school.
