Tonight, April 19th, at 8:00 p.m., University of Georgia student Laura Latham is putting on a fashion show at the local in demand bar Sideways! The collection featured will be 15 of her designed sweaters, all made from used clothing with the exception of thread. After the show, all of the sweaters will be on sale for $30.
Admission to the show is $2 at the door. Delicious food including Mama's Boy biscuits, macaroni and cheese, and sugar cookies will be provided for free!
Local band, The Funk Grenades, will also be playing after the show!
All proceeds from the event will be donated to Haiti!
Although almost 4 months has passed since the terror-striking earthquake in Haiti, University of Georgia students continue to raise money and show their support for relief from the disaster. Days after the earthquake hit, volunteers and active university students formed the student volunteer team Dawgs for Haiti. It immediately pledged $50,000 to help with initial relief efforts. Through t-shirt sales and campaigns to raise money, Dawgs for Haiti met their goal in just 2 weeks!
Dawgs for Haiti has since pledged another goal of $50,000 for reconstruction and development efforts. So far $8,ooo has been raised, making total funds collected to this date $58,000.
The kind and active hearts of these university students have touched the lives of the earthquake victims in Haiti. The team's campaign is still ongoing and every contribution is appreciated. To donate to the cause please check out this website.
