The Dragon Awakens Zhuzhed Up event organiser invites the community to enjoy a fashion show fundraising event at the Yarraville Club on Saturday, August 3.
The event will feature a disco and a fashion show with unique clothing made from recycled materials, aiming to raise funds for underprivileged communities in the Philippines.
The fashion show will present around 30 to 35 pieces of recycled clothing, highlighting sustainable fashion practices.
Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase these outfits, with all proceeds going towards the BAI Foundation’s initiatives in the Philippines.
“I would like to encourage the community to support BAI Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to helping broken, wounded, hurting, and lonely people who face many of life’s challenges and issues,” Event organiser and creative director Gina Parker said,
The BAI Foundation focuses on helping individuals suffering from addiction and depression, along with their families, to break free from feelings of powerlessness and hopelessness.
“This event is about hope, compassion, and empathy,” she said.
Ms Parker, who has been organising this event since December 2023, said she limited the event to 100 guests to foster a personal connection between attendees and the cause.
“I want to engage with the people attending,” Ms Parker said.
“It’s not just about raising funds, but about making a meaningful connection with each person present.”
Maribyrnong mayor Cuc Lam and the Consul General of the Philippines Maria Lourdes Salcedo will attend the event.
Ms Parker said she encourages people in the community who can’t attend to support the BAI Foundation through donations.
