Our 5th Annual Runway off Wealthy Fashion show benefitting Kids Food Basket took place Thursday September 6 on the Grounds of Jeffery Roberts Design  

Okay, wow, I cannot thank everyone enough who worked at, volunteered, donated, or attended this years Runway off Wealthy!!!  

It took a lot of hard work and hours of preparation to pull off, but Runway off Wealthy is by far my favorite event and all the work is worth it knowing that we can raise money for such an important cause while putting on [what I think] is a pretty kick ass event.

The fact that we can create an awesome event for our customers / community that showcases our products all while helping raise money for Kids Food Basket is pretty dang awesome.

After tallying up all of the raffle ticket sales, vendor donations, etc, we raised over $6,000 for Kids Food Basket this year!

The Grounds of Jeffery Roberts Design were the perfect backdrop...

This is our 4th year putting on the fashion show on Jeffery's grounds and it gets better and better every year.  

'Dating back to 1860, the Fisher House was once home to affluent land developer, A.W. Fisher, and lived several lives in the 1900's as a girl's school, music school, and funeral home. After being vacant for a number of years, local designer Jeffery Roberts, purchased the Fisher house and began restoring it'

Since our fashion show last year, the grounds have been completely transformed and were the perfect backdrop.
