To our donors, volunteers, community partners, Empower Simcoe employees and models, THANK YOU for all you did to make this year’s show such a great success. We’ll see you at next year’s Empower Simcoe Celebrating Community Champions Fashion Show in 2023.

In addition to your seat at the fashion show, you can enjoy delicious appetizers and desserts as part of your ticket price. A premium bundle draw and live auction will also add to the excitement and Chillz Lounge will have signature mocktails available for purchase.

Funds raised will be used to enhance the quality of life for people of all abilities through Empower Simcoe’s programs.

If you’ve been to Celebrating Community Champions Fashion Show in past years, then you know how entertaining and inspiring it can be. And if you haven’t, now’s your chance to find out!
