Prevail, a Noblesville-based nonprofit that advocates for victims of crime and abuse on their path to healing, will present its 2026 Spring Fashion Show beginning at 10 a.m. May 8 at Ritz Charles in Carmel.
“Spring represents renewal, resilience and hope, and this event is a wonderful reflection of that spirit,” said Tami Wanninger, executive director of Prevail. “I’m always inspired by the way our community comes together to support survivors.”
The event offers attendees an opportunity to browse and shop 10 local boutiques and enjoy a runway show featuring boutique items. Abby St. Amand, Prevail’s marketing and events specialist, said the organization has conducted the fundraiser for more than a decade.
“This is definitely one of Prevail’s signature fundraising events,” Amand said. “It’s a fun community event that brings people together for an afternoon of shopping and camaraderie but also surrounding Prevail’s mission — making sure our attendees leave with a good understanding of what Prevail does in the community, that we’re here to help and that our services are available to all.”
An individual who benefited from Prevail’s services will share their survival story of strength and resilience at the event. The speaker’s focus word is “fearless,” so Prevail will sell apparel themed around the word. All proceeds benefit Prevail.
“Survivors are why we do what we do,” Amand said. “Any chance we are able to highlight them, that’s what it’s all about. I think having someone up there sharing their story of what they’ve gone through is something the audience can really connect with.”
Last year, the event raised more than $60,000 in support of survivors. This year, Amand said the event will be themed around the organization’s 40th anniversary.
“That’s been a big, big piece of celebration for us,” Amand said. “Over those 40 years, we’ve been able to help more than 70,000 survivors access lifesaving support. All of our events this year are celebrating that and focusing on how we can continue the work that we do and continue making an impact in the community.”
The event’s premier sponsor is Gaylor Electric. Vendors include AH Collection; Bash Boutique; Fringe & Form; Jill Duzan Jewelry; Juler’s Row; Linden Tree; Tangerine; The Field – Women’s Provisions; Love Links by Rae; and Vintage Revival
