Local businesses on the Bellarine Peninsula are gearing up for a fashionable affair with the upcoming Fashion for a Cause event. Set to take place this Sunday, the event promises a showcase of style, empowerment, and community spirit. Organized by the Bellarine Boss Babes, the event will feature 18 models representing five different clothing businesses.
The brains behind the operation include Sarah Donaldson from Beauty Queen Face and Body, Jessica McKenzie from Complete Face Cosmetics, and Tarryn Stanley from Ocean Rental Boutique. This year marks the third edition of the event, which not only serves as a fundraiser but also stands as a testament to women supporting women and local community initiatives.
The runway will be graced with the latest collections from Bellarine businesses, with proceeds going towards the Empowerment Challenge Geelong. This organization focuses on addressing parenting challenges within the community. The event aims to raise awareness and funds for this noble cause, highlighting the importance of giving back and supporting local charities.
Previous editions of Fashion for a Cause have seen remarkable success, with last year’s event raising a substantial $17,000 for a Bali-based dog shelter. This year, organizers are optimistic about reaching a similar fundraising milestone, with live entertainment, silent auctions, lucky door prizes, and more on the agenda to engage attendees beyond the runway.
The event is set to kick off at 3 pm at the Barwon Heads Hall, offering attendees an afternoon of fashion, philanthropy, and entertainment. Tickets for the 2025 Fashion for a Cause are available for purchase online, inviting fashion enthusiasts and charity supporters to come together for a meaningful cause.
As the fashion industry continues to evolve, events like Fashion for a Cause serve as a reminder of the sector’s ability to drive positive change and make a difference in local communities. Through a blend of style and social responsibility, this event exemplifies the power of fashion to create impact beyond the runway.
With a lineup of diverse models, local designers, and a charitable mission at its core, Fashion for a Cause stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit of the Bellarine Peninsula’s business community. As the event approaches, anticipation is high for a day of fashion-forward moments, heartfelt discussions, and collective support for a worthy cause.
Stay tuned as Fashion for a Cause prepares to make its mark on the Bellarine Peninsula, uniting fashion enthusiasts, community advocates, and charitable organizations in a celebration of style, empowerment, and giving back.
