An event with ample fashion, food and fun and all benefitting an important organization serving those with special needs in our community is occurring soon in East Cobb. The “Sparkle and Style” Fashion Show and Luncheon is scheduled for Saturday, April 25 at Holy Family Catholic Church and benefits Special Needs Cobb, a nonprofit providing group homes and support to adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Funds raised will support renovations at the 23 residences, 22 of which are in Cobb County.
At this third annual event, guests will enjoy fashions and accessories from sponsor Casabella in East Cobb, a delicious luncheon and can shop for a variety of items at the silent auction. “This is such an elegant ladies’ luncheon that pampers guests with a little get away from the routine without leaving town,” said Carolyn Polakowski, an Eastcobber who is chairing the event along with Alexis Hall.
“Casabella will be sharing their latest arrivals and the auction items we are receiving are amazing. I think it would be a great afternoon for moms and daughters to come together,” commented Polakowski. “Guests can enjoy a wonderful food and deserts as well as the new spring clothing lines at a ticket price, $40, that is very affordable. Most importantly, some very deserving individuals will benefit from the event proceeds. We are excited that some of the residents of the group homes will be our models.” Last year the event raised over $20,000 for the charity, and Polakowski’s goal this year is $25,000.
This year marks Special Needs Cobb’s 70th year of providing resources and residential care options to families with adults and children with developmental disabilities. Led by CEO Debbie Day, their mission is to transform and enhance the lives of individuals with special needs through group housing, caregiver life-planning workshops, and resources for parents so that they have the support tools needed to provide the best possible future for their loved ones with special needs.
The Sparkle and Shine fashion show and luncheon is Saturday, April 25, 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at Holy Family Catholic Church, 3401 Lower Roswell Road in Marietta. Sponsorships and tickets are available. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit https://www.specialneedscobb.
