9th Annual Charity Fashion Show

DOORS OPEN AT 5 P.M. WITH COCKTAILS & SILENT AUCTION

We would like to personally welcome you and thank you in advance for your consideration in supporting The Arc of the Bay’s 9th Annual Kohl’s Charity Fashion Show scheduled on Saturday, July 26th at the Edgewater Beach and Golf Resort Conference Center. The Lord’s blessings continue as we have now expanded into our 8 county service area providing life and job skills training to over 450 individuals with special abilities helping them to lead a more productive and independent lifestyle.

Today is a very special day as 35 years ago, President George W. Bush signed the Americans With Disabilities Act into law in 1990. This landmark civil rights legislation increases access and opportunity for people with disabilities across community life.

And now…for the main event! The Kohl’s Charity Fashion Show is such an amazing event of love, respect and self-advocacy! You will be introduced to 36 individuals among our community with “Human Needs” because we all are “Special” providing them another way to show the world that they belong. Our models visit Kohl’s Dept Store where they chose 2 outfits to wear…a day and evening attire. On the night of the event, they hit the runaway strutting and showcasing the latest fashions from Kohl’s. At The Arc of the Bay, we teach Self-Advocacy, Self-Choice and Self-Determination and this amazing event allows them another opportunity to let their voices be heard. The Cheers, Applause and tears of Joy echo long after this awesome night.
