VCC Fashion is pleased to once again be supporting the Herstory in Focus fundraiser of the Downtown Eastside Women's Center. The team will be acting as consultants for the fashion show segment, and will be on-site for workshops and the show. VCC Fashion will also be making masks for the women involved.

VIRTUAL GALA: Includes comedy, a fashion show, musical performances, a silent auction, and much more!

HOST: Savannah Erasmus, “a “Vintage” comedian based in Vancouver, BC. She was raised in Kikino Metis Settlement and Cold Lake First Nation, in Treaty 6 Territory (Northern Alberta). Her Indigenous perspective and “fashion-focused” lens create a fresh and unique stand-up persona that audiences adore. “

SPECIAL GUESTS: Laydy Jams & Maia

FUNDRAISING GOAL: The Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre is recording a 50% increase in the number of women accessing services since provincial health and safety restrictions were relaxed on July 1, 2021. Oftentimes, a hot, nutritious meal is a gateway for the community’s most vulnerable women to a continuum of holistic supports to improve her situation. DEWC’s meals program is still mostly funded by individual donations, and their goal is to fundraise over $120,000 to support DEWC’s expanding meals program.
