PRESS RELEASE Cancer Survivors to Hit The Fashion Show Runway - Nassau County, FL Women in Nassau helping Women in Need (WINWIN) is sponsoring A Cup of Comfort Fashion Show and Tea Party to benefit Gerri's Corner on Sunday, Sept. 20 from 2-4 pm. The elegant Tea Party and Fashion Show will be held at the gorgeous Savannah Grand Assisted Living Home at 1900 Amelia Trace Court, off of Sadler, in Fernandina Beach. There are a limited number of tickets available for $30 in advance or $35 at the door (upon availability). Tickets can be purchased at these locations: 8th Street: Fifi's Fine Resale Historic Downtown: Gauzeway & Pineapple Patch Sadler: Patchington Harris Teeter Shopping Plaza: Elizabeth's Palmetto Walk Shopping Center: Heron's Swim & Sport Come out and applaud the models for this event, as they are all local cancer survivors. Jessica Miller of Fifi's Fine Resale will emcee the Fashion Show, and clothing and accessories from Fifi's Fine Resale, Elizabeth Trading Company, Patchington, Heron's Swim & Sport and Pineapple Patch will be featured. Local makeup artists and hair stylists will help to make all of the women even more gorgeous, before they take the runway. Also during the Tea Party and Fashion Show, fabulous door prizes will be raffled off. Donations are now being accepted for raffle items, which is another way to make this a great fundraiser for Gerri's Corner. Local businesses are encouraged to donate items or gift certificates promoting their business. Donations are tax deductible and greatly appreciated to make this an exceptional event. To make a donation or assist with this event, please contact Diane at 904-548-9750. We have already had a great number of gifts donated and will have two types of raffles. You do not have to be present to win one of several grand prize drawing packages valued at $500-$1000. A $30 ticket enters you in a chance to win a package of combined gifts including hotel stays, golf, restaurant gift certificates and jewelry. Stop by Fifi's Fine Resale in Fernandina or call Connie to purchase these tickets 904-759-0745. Proceeds from the Fashion Show and Raffle will benefit Gerri's Corner, a one-of-a-kind cancer resource center. Gerri's Corner is named after Gerri Dadd, who lost her 15 year battle with breast cancer in November of 2005. Gerri's Corner is headed up by her sister, Chris Alznauer, a Fernandina resident. It is staffed entirely by volunteers and is a non- profit resource center for Nassau County women, their families and friends, who are facing cancer. The Gerri Dadd Foundation is a 501 c 3 organization, and your donations are tax deductible. Gerri's Corner contains an extensive lending library that provides valuable information on various forms of cancer, from pre-treatment, to on-going problems, concerns and side effects. The center also provides wigs, headliners, sleep caps and hair pieces, free of charge. In addition, women undergoing chemotherapy are given a gift bag which includes handmade comfort pillows, afghans, special bears, memo books and other items. The theme of Gerri's Corner is “sharing beauty and spreading hope”. Gerri's Corner is the only resource center of its kind in the state of Florida. Although the resource center has no religious affiliation, it is located in a room at Maxwell Hall, donated for this use by the Memorial United Methodist Church on North 6th Street in downtown Fernandina Beach. For more information on Gerri's Corner please call 904-277-0099.] |
