Swag the Runway Announces 'We Love Our Swag' Fashion Show

Dreamz Youth Foundation is pleased to announce that Swag the Runway, Chicago’s original youth modeling group, will host its 7th annual fashion show titled, “We Love Our Swag” on Saturday, August 6, 2016.

Dreamz Youth Foundation, home of Swag the Runway, is making it their mission to empower and enrich the lives of Chicago area youth - offering them an extracurricular activity outside of the traditional education system as a positive alternative to community violence. Created by mother and daughter, Queen and Sa’Rah Mitchell, Swag the Runway’s impact goes well beyond a fashion show. The organization provides quality training in fashion, dance, production, art and more.

“I am excited to see our biggest fashion show make it another year, and to send a positive message throughout the Chicagoland community,” said SaRah Valentine, founder and executive producer of Swag the Runway. “Our youth modeling team has worked very hard on the production and choreography all year, so I’m eager to see the results of the show.”

The “We Love Our Swag” Fashion Show will take place at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. College Preparatory High School (4445 S. Drexel Blvd., Chicago, IL 60653) at 6 pm. Doors will open at 5 pm.

“We would like to personally thank those who donated at our ‘We Love the Arts” Fundraiser Fashion Show. Without their support, we don’t know where we’d be today,” Queen Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer of Dreamz Youth Foundation and Swag the Runway added. “We are also still accepting sponsorships and vendors for our big show.”

Swag the Runway tickets can be purchased online at Eventbrite.com and DreamzYouthCenter.com. Tickets are also available for purchase at Haire’s Gulf Shrimp (8112 S. Vincennes Avenue, Chicago, IL) and Maestro Shave Barbershop (770 N. LaSalle Avenue Chicago, IL).
