Style of Hope 2014 Recap
Over 600 people turned out for Springfield’s 9th Annual Style of Hope fashion show event to benefit the children of The Hope Institute. With gourmet hors d’oeuvres and chocolates from Pease’s Candy, a champagne toast, and a high energy and highly choreographed spectacular fashion show, the night was electric!
The event featured eight local stores, 38 community models and eight of Hope’s very own student models who brought the crowd to their feet and burst into applause with their heart-warming segment. This year in addition to the vast array of great silent auction items, we added a fantastic raffle with an American Girl Doll of the Year Package, and a high-end Stock the Bar Package, complete with a giant metal patio cooler. The live auction line-up included a trip to Belize and a stunning diamond necklace valued at $3,000!
Many wonderful guests rallied to Fund the Need for building an important SCOPE After School Program for children at Hope. Hundreds of businesses and individuals in the community contributed to make this a spectacular and successful event.
We would like to take a moment to thank all who gave so generously through sponsorship, donations, time, and talents. We thank you on behalf of all the children and families of Hope who will ultimately benefit from your support and willingness to make a difference.
