Models walked up and down the runway to the cheers of the crowd during the Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center's annual fashion show fundraiser at the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota on March 31.
The SPARCC Runway "Timeless Treasures" event — which benefits the organization's programs helping victims of domestic and sexual violence — started with an hour of guests mingling and shopping for clothing and accessories from the SPARCC Treasure Chest resale store.Â
650 guests filled the Ritz ballroom to hear from event chair Vickie Smith and SPARCC president and CEO Jessica Hays before it was time for the fashion show to begin.
A number of models took to the stage wearing clothing from all eras found at the SPARCC Treasure Chest store as the crowd cheered them on.
The day's program went on with post event entertainment, shopping and mingling at the bar.
