Fashion For a Cause is upon us! 4/27/12

Fashion For A Cause is upon us. Our signature fundraising event for TMC Hospital Hill’s Women’s Health Services is this Friday, April 27th at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. Thanks to each of you who are supporting the event. We will be sold out by the end of the day and the planning team is fast at work finalizing details for what promises to be a fantastic event. Our goal for the year was “bigger, better, bolder.” One way to do that was to bring in a celebrity host to add sizzle and content to the evening. The Kansas City Star ran a full color, front page story in the FYI section today featuring our host, Giuliana Rancic, the host of E!News and other fashion and reality television shows. Please click on the link below to read all about her and the event if you didn’t get a chance to see it in the paper today. http://www.kansascity.com/2012/04/23/3571541/tvs-giuliana-rancic-shares-her.html#storylink=misearch Hope to see you Friday on the Red Carpet!
