Video: Inspiration + fashion = NW Hope & Healing’s ‘Style ’12’

| How to help | West Seattle news

On and off the runway, smiles, words of hope, and flourishes of fashion were the order of the night at Northwest Hope and Healing‘s “Style ’12” event last night at Showbox SODO. The video above is courtesy of Edgar Riebe at Captive Eye Media – the survivors you’ll see and hear from in his clip include West Seattle’s three-time survivor and fundraiser extraordinaire Tracy Dart (who told Edgar, “It’s fun to feel pretty in front of 500 people, and to show that you made it out on the other side”), the keynote speaker. West Seattle businesses participating included >West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor), Ola Salon, and boutiques Carmilia’s, Sweetie, and Coastal. This summer, as usual, there’s a big West Seattle fundraiser for NW Hope and Healing: The 5K Alki Beach Run/Walk on August 26 (yes, registration is already open!).

Thank you to everyone who came to our 10th annual fashion show on May 3rd. We are thrilled to have raised more than $100,000 at this event for our Healing Programs. We appreciate the support of the many local businesses involved, as well as the beautiful women, all breast cancer survivors, including Tracy Dart, who volunteered to model.

This was such a fabulous event. The models (myself included) were pampered by Ola, the boutiques, and Shelly; and the guests were treated to a great night out. Fabulous fashion this year – the best ever, I think! Best of all is the money raised, because no woman should have to decide whether to buy groceries or put gas in the car to get to chemo. Thank you to everyone who supported this event.

Sorry, comment time is over.
