The Italian American Society of Southwest Florida held its annual charity fashion show at the Stonebridge Country Club on Saturday, March 7.
Members and guests enjoyed lunch, followed by the fashion show with clothing provided by The Casual Connection Shop in Naples.
Proceeds from the event will go to Warrior Homes of Collier, an organization that works to provide housing, mental health support and education for homeless and at-risk veterans.
Phyliss Jensen, president of The Society; Fran Patone, organizer of the show; and Barbara Salkow, director of Warrior Homes and Italian Society board member, along with other members and guests joined to bring the community together through fashion while supporting an important cause.
The tremendous support given by staff, members and guests result in a donation to Warrior Homes of approximately $4000 to help those veterans in need.
