[/media-credit]The Martin Truex Jr. Foundation is proud to announce its 3rd Annual Catwalk for a Cause event to benefit the Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte, NC. We invite you to join us for an evening of fashion, fun and philanthropy on May 16th, 2012 from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. at MTJ Motorsports in Mooresville, NC.
Proceeds from the event benefit the “Martin Truex Jr. Special Needs Fund” created at Levine Children’s Hospital in 2011. The fund provides patients and families of children being treated at Levine who need assistance, to pay for medically necessary services, supplies and special programs.
The night’s pinnacle event is a New York-style runway show presented by Lavendar, Avalilly’s and Fresh Boutiques, featuring the hottest designer labels for Spring. For many, the highlight of the show is watching the children that directly benefit from the fund, walk the Catwalk to raise money for their own cause!
“When we first started this event in 2010, I never would have dreamed it could become this big! Every year more and more people come out to support our cause and see the kids, it’s amazing to see the impact one community can have when we all come together for a cause that’s so close to our hearts,” said Lavendar owner Sherry Pollex, longtime girlfriend of Truex.
The silent auction and raffle will feature over 40 items, including designer apparel and accessories, entertainment/dining packages and several pieces of custom-made diamond jewelry. The highlight of this year’s silent auction is sure to be the hand-painted pottery created by the children at Levine Children’s Hospital!
Tickets are available in two categories, the “Trendsetter” ticket is $125 and includes a reserved VIP seat for the fashion show, along with a VIP swag bag. The “Fashionista” tickets are $75 and come with a general seating ticket and swag bag. All tickets include complimentary valet parking, gourmet food and select beverages.
Tickets are available online at martintruexjrfoundation.org or by phone at 704.664.1113. For sponsorship opportunities please contact Michelle Hunt at 704.664.1113 or michelle@martintruexjrfoundation.org.
