Fashion Show Luncheon
Resurrection hosted the Fall for Fashion Luncheon & Fashion Show on Sunday, October 27. Approximately 185 guests enjoyed lunch, raffles and the fashion show and close to $10,000 was raised for Resurrection College Prep High School. As you know, we rely on fundraising efforts to help fill the gap between tuition and the full cost of educating a Resurrection student. We appreciate all of the support of our school families in all of our fundraising efforts.
Visit the Resurrection College Prep High School Facebook site to see photos from the Fashion Show. Fashions from Dick Pond Athletics in Park Ridge, Natalie Boutique in Park Ridge and Robin Elliott Special Occasions in Morton Grove were modeled. Thank you to all of the student, parent and alumnae models, sponsors, donors, volunteers, supporters and guests!
