Plans are already underway for the 2017 Salvation Army Fashion Show. Leading the charge will be beauty expert/fundraising phenom D’Andra Simmons Lock, who will chair the annual fundraiser for the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary.
In addition to having fashionable DNA thanks to mama Dee Simmons and a love for clothes, D’Andra is a pro when it comes to heading up events and raising funds for nonprofits. Not only did she chair the Junior League of Dallas’ ball among other fundraisers, she created Cancer Blows in 2015 with musicians from around the country coming together to fight cancer.
And when it comes to underwriting, D’Andra has numbers on speed-dial that would thrill any development director.
While D’Andra is keeping her plans under wraps, she had a twinkle in her blue eyes as she reported that it’s gonna be a memory maker and a financial success for the good of the Salvation Army.
Here’s a thought: Since the winter season is in the rear view mirror, it’s time to edit that closet of yours. There are cute things that you just know you’re not gonna wear again. So, why not just put them aside in a nice stack for the Salvation Army? And then you’ll have loads more room for those new clothes that you deserve and need.
