Support the Future of Fashion & Workforce Development
As an advocate for the arts, I have had the honor of working alongside Tricee Thomas and The Garment League, witnessing firsthand the transformative power of their fashion education program. This initiative is more than just a creative outlet—it’s a life-changing opportunity that provides real industry training and workforce development for youth, many of whom come from underserved communities.
What inspires me the most is the dedication and passion of these young minds. They approach fashion education with the same intensity as kids at space camp, fully immersed in learning technical skills, design, and the business of fashion. This program gives them access to resources and mentorship they would otherwise never experience, opening doors to future careers in the industry.
I am asking for your support in raising funds to send more children to this program at no cost to their families. The upcoming On Central show is a key fundraiser for this initiative, and I’m honored to be part of this important cause.
Every donation—big or small—makes a difference. Sponsorship opportunities are also available, and all contributions are tax-deductible. The sponsor packet is linked on this page for your review.
Let’s invest in the next generation of creative talent and pour into our future. Thank you for your support!
