On Thursday, November 29, over 100 people attended a fashion show benefit at Surf Incubator located in the Wells Fargo Center in downtown Seattle in support of the Seattle-based non-profit organization Treehouse.
Treehouse serves more than 7,000 kids in foster care in Seattle and throughout the state by providing academic support, school supplies, funding for activities and group events, among other needs including clothes and toys.
The event featured fashion by local designers and the smooth emceeing of KeyBank employee Jason Tartick, who competed on ABC's 'The Bachelorette' in the most recent season. Fashion by Jessica Garcia Studio, Endorphins, Goldie Crew and MAC Fashions were worn by some of Seattle's top male and female runway models.
The event was planned and hosted by KeyBank volunteers and raised $4,400 for Treehouse.
'KeyBank and its employees have been a valued part of Treehouse's success for the past five years as we've expanded beyond King County,' said Janis Avery, Treehouse's CEO, in a press release. 'We look forward to continuing this incredible partnership as we work to match the graduation rate for youth in foster care statewide by 2022.'
