The Lamplighters non-profit organization held their annual scholarship fashion show fundraiser on Saturday, April 26, at Bayview Baptist Church at 6134 Pastor Timothy J Winters St.
The creatively dressed volunteer models were able to walk the runway with confidence and swag, flaunting their ready-to-wear fashions.
“We really appreciate our runway models. They were fun and awesome,” shared Lamplighter treasurer Bonita Lockhart.
Guests were treated to an all-you-can-eat feast provided by Felix BBQ catering and a raffle, as they watched their favorite models advertise their talent for fashion.
“Raising money for student scholarships is the reason we are here today as we continue to do our part in helping young students continue their educational journeys,” said Bonita Lockhart.
Lamplighter supporter Charlie Brown had this to say: “I think the Lamplighters are always doing great things for students in our community. They genuinely care about what happens to our kids.”
The Lamplighter scholarships also include trade school, as the Lamplighters continue to assist youngsters in their pursuit of higher learning.
