WHAT: Recycle the Runway is a one-of-a-kind experience where a juried selection of 10 local designers compete before a panel of celebrity judges with runway-ready ensembles crafted from bags of recycled clothing in hopes of being one of the top 3 finalists to take home a cash prize. But it’s so much more than a fashion show.
This year’s fundraiser will be highly interactive, giving guests an opportunity to touch, taste, feel and experience. Bring in broken or dated jewelry and see how Expressions Jewelers can reclaim purpose and turn it into something magical. Get red-carpet ready by having your brows, lips and eyelashes touched up then head to the red carpet to take a photo with Miss Scott County, Katie Markey. You can pose with winning designs from years past, star-studded accessories from Eye Surgeons and ‘Rosie the Riveter’ inspired outfits from the National Association of Women in Construction.
Guests will have the opportunity to bid on amazing items in the silent auction like a Cubs weekend getaway in Chicago, complete with 4 tickets and a condo stay, or vie to take home one of the winning designs in an exciting live auction.
You won’t want to miss this night of ‘Reclaiming Purpose in a Throwaway World,’ sure to contain several fun & exciting surprises for the audience. Best of all, 100% of the proceeds will benefit local women working towards economic independence.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased individually for $60 or in tables of 8 for $400 at rtr-2018.eventbrite.com. Hurry -- Early Bird prices end April 5!
Recycle the Runway is presented by Runway Sponsor, Royal Neighbors of America along with Trendsetter Sponsors, Lexus of Quad Cities and Olsen Law Firm.Read more at:orange formal dresses | yellow formal dresses
