As a new event in 2007, which drew over 500 people, the Heart House
Charity Fashion Show was a tremendous success and named one of the Top
Ten Fashion Events of 2007. Now in its second year and with larger
goals in mind, Heart House will reach a larger audience of 600
attendees, in addition to tremendous media sponsorship engagement with
Austin Monthly Magazine and Mix94.7 Radio. This
event will raise $80,000 to be used to support the expansion of Heart
House afterschool centers, where children receive a free, safe and
academically-focused afterschool program while their parents are at
work. Heart
House’s innovative afterschool program is the only daily program for
school-age children in neighborhoods known for their high crime, high
unemployment, and lack of affordable, quality care for children. Since
the first center opened, Heart House has been able to track its
children, with parents, teachers and schools reporting that our children
have shown improved academic performance, fewer behavior problems, and
better rates of homework completion.
