Tri-City Hospital Foundation’s popular Fashion That Heals luncheon is set to return on Sat., May 17 from 10:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa. Because heart disease is the number-one killer of women in the U.S., the third annual Fashion That Heals will benefit women’s heart health programs at Tri-City Medical Center.
On the schedule for this year’s event is a fashion show featuring Tri-City physicians, nurses and employees as well as community heroes like firefighters. There will also be a Health & Beauty Expo, a trunk show with top local vendors and both live and silent auctions with offerings including jewelry, vacations, wellness services and more. “Pick a Purse,” a brand new opportunity drawing, will tempt fashion lovers with the chance to choose a high-end designer handbag of their choice. As an added bonus, each purse will be filled with hundreds of dollars in luxurious prizes. “Pick a Purse” tickets will be $25 each or five for $100, and interested parties need not be present to win.
“Fashion That Heals raised $350,000 for women’s health services in 2013, and we are excited to top that in 2014,” said Event Co-Chair Ellen Stotmeister.
