ALPENA — Friday night’s Zonta Runway to the Holidays fashion show provided trendy outfit options from local retailers, with proceeds going to help women succeed.

Held at the APlex, the fundraiser featured a pasta dinner by JJ’s Catering, a bar of hot chocolate and cookies from Galley Sweet Shop, and an array of fashion-trending models from Maurices, Myers Fashions Etc. ., Cedar and Threads, Glitz and Glamor, and Emery Enterprises. Roar Salon in Alpena did the models’ hair and makeup for the show.

Alpena’s Zonta Club started the fashion show in 2015, but it was moved from the fall to the holidays last year.

“It was originally a fall show,” said event president Kim LaBrecque, adding that the holiday event was “well received.” It’s also a bit more fun during the holidays.”

She was happy with about 75 people in attendance, all there for a good cause.

Funds raised go to Zonta service projects, including funding scholarships at Alpena Community College, mammograms at MyMichigan Medical Center Alpena, Friends Together cancer support center, and Hazel’s Closet, which provides clothing for women returning to the workforce.

“Our mission is to enhance, improve and educate the women of the community locally and nationally,” LaBrecque said of the Zonta Club.

Many individuals and businesses donated quality items to the silent auction at the Zonta Club of Alpena fundraiser. The group appreciates the support.
