Community
Models for a Cause is an opportunity for those models participating in Midwest Fashion Week to volunteer in their community by working with local non-profit organizations.
Our past fashion show models worked with Riley Children's Foundation, Ambassadors For Children and Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization.

It was my job to model the mink coat auction item. It was sold at $3300 that will benefit breast cancer related issues. The best part of the evening was seeing everyone come together all in the name of charity. I'm proud to say that I chose to do something that may make a difference. |

One memorable lady I spoke to had a rare type of cancer that was undetectable through standard procedures. She was completely devastated because she was following correct screenings. That was just one of the experiences I learned about. I was glad to be involved with such a great cause. |

I am thrilled that I had the opportunity to be involved in such a worthwhile cause at the silent auction. I love to volunteer, but the opportunity isn't always so easy to come by. The auction items covered a variety of interests. The decor and atmosphere was very elegant. The crowd added to the ambience with pretty dresses and friendly smiles. The food was equally impressive.
I volunteered at the Toast to Breast Cancer Cocktail Party. It was a rewarding experience. I monitored a silent auction table. I had the opportunity to socialize with wonderful people, met numerous breast cancer survivors and spoke with them about their tragic experiences. 
My experience working with the Y-Me Breast Cancer Organization was great. I enjoyed meeting people who were working for a great cause. I am definitely looking forward to continually help in their endevors to fight breast cancer.
