\"\"<\/a>Whether you\u2019re a lover of fashion or philanthropy (or both!), this event is not to be missed! The fashion show pairs local designers with Activate Good\u2019s nonprofit partners to create looks inspired by each cause\u2019s mission. There will be 19 designers, creating a total of 38 pieces (one \u201cready-to-wear\u201d and one \u201cart-to-wear\u201d) that represent 17 Triangle-area nonprofits.<\/p>\n

In addition to admiring the work of these designers and the causes of the various nonprofits, there will be a live and silent auction, Hollywood-style red carpet entrance, VIP lounge with cuisine provided by Zinda<\/a>, cash bar and hors d\u2019oeuvre. As a new and exciting element this year, the audience will also be asked to vote for their favorite design, and their votes will be tied into designers\u2019 scores. Jamie O\u2019Brien of The CW22 will be emceeing and Gary Davis will be auctioneering.<\/p>\n

As if it couldn\u2019t get any better, this event\u2019s proceeds go to Activate Good, a volunteer center that activates volunteers to help causes in Raleigh and the Triangle. Activate Good works with more than 100 nonprofits in the area to connect more than 2,000 volunteers (and growing) to causes they care about. Activate Good\u2019s signature fundraiser reflects its unique mission as a nonprofit that serves other nonprofits.<\/p>\n
