5th Annual Passion for Fashion

Fifth Annual Fashion Show Brings Together Local Shops, Stylists to Raise Money for the Alexander and Gabrielle Mansour Memorial Fund
Presented by BELFOR & Groupon Returns to Shenandoah Country Club December 20

WEST BLOOMFIELD – On Friday, December 20th, ten local salons and ten fashion boutiques will come together for the Fifth Annual Passion for Fashion Charity Show at Shenandoah Country Club.  This annual event will raise money and awareness to support the Alexander and Gabrielle Mansour Memorial Fund, a permanently endowed fund to support the West Bloomfield School District.  The event, presented by BELFOR & Groupon and produced by area consulting firm Steward Media, brings together community members and business members for live entertainment, giveaways, and a fashion show hosted by Slim from Mojo in the Morning and Elizabeth Ivezaj, Miss Michigan USA, 2014.

“This event promotes a different charity every year and we salute the generosity of our sponsors and the local businesses who participate,” said Derek Dickow, event chair and Steward Media Founder. “This year we are hoping to continue to not only raise dollars, but also to raise awareness for the Alexander and Gabrielle Mansour Memorial Fund.  The Mansour family’s tragedy this summer was a tragedy for our community.  The fund established in their honor will support student enrichment programs and activities including art, dance or basketball, which were of particular interest to Alexander and Gabrielle. We are proud to support the Mansour family and the memory of these children,” said Dickow.

Patrons are invited to join Groupon & BELFOR and other sponsors for an evening of strolling hors d’oeuvres, dancing, live entertainment, desserts, and special guests.  Participating boutiques will be paired with a salon and, with $10 of each ticket and all silent auction dollars going directly to the fund. The event drew more than 600 attendees last year.
