Fashion raises funds for Women's House Bruce Grey

A spy-inspired evening of fashion, fun, and philanthropy is coming to Port Elgin later this month.

“Mission: Steal Your Heart” will take over the Lakeshore Recreation Centre on Wednesday, February 18, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and the main event running from 7 to 9 p.m. Organizers are promising a high-energy night built around mystery and style, encouraging guests to “dress sharp” and embrace the theme.

The event will feature a live fashion show and a specially curated date experience designed to add an interactive twist to the evening. Admission includes appetizers and a drink ticket, giving attendees the chance to mingle while taking in the runway presentations.

Host Melissa Good, Owner of Casual Corners and Mensch, said there will also be a pop-up fashion booth, and exclusive discounts available only during the event.

 "There's a mystery envelope at the very end of the night," she added. "And then we'll have a lot of gifts to give out. Over $1,500 worth of gifts, actually. And each of our goody bags are well over $75 apiece. Tickets are only $30."

 A portion of the proceeds will support the Women’s House Serving Bruce and Grey. Tickets are limited for the 19-plus event.
