Attend the 2nd Annual Peak of Fashion Show March 13 in Downtown Apex and Help End Violence Against Girls and Women

This effort could help girls and women who are victims of abuse and/or assault. Please read this and attend if you would like to help the cause. Here is the press release with all of the details:

Six Apex businesses have joined forces to host the 2nd Annual Peak of Fashion Show March 13th at Hair, Body & Sole Salon and Spa at 106 W. Chatham Street in Apex. The event is free and kicks off with 6:30 p.m. cocktails before the fashion show starts at 7 p.m., which will highlight spring’s vibrant fashion trends, harmonious hair blends and fresh makeovers. Sponsors include Hair, Body & Sole Salon and Spa, Nativa, My Girlfriend’s Closet, Laura Kelly Designs & Licensing, Pure Expressions Photography and Anne Clay Photography.

But this is much more than a fashion show. It also honors V-Day 2009, a global movement to end violence against women and girls that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Playwright/Founder Eve Ensler’s award winning play, “The Vagina Monologues,” and other artistic works. Fantastic door prizes will be offered and donations for V-Day will be accepted.

The funds raised will be used by the Apex Police Department to build a safe house and comfortable retreat for local women who have been abused or assaulted. Currently, the Apex Police Department does not have a private safe house. Since the Apex police station is undergoing remodeling, owners of businesses hosting the Peak of Fashion Show feel this is the perfect time to raise funds for the construction of this room.

Cheri Kinney, owner of Hair, Body & Sole Salon and Spa, is excited about this year’s show and encourages anyone planning to attend to bring all of their friends. A DJ will be there, and tents and heaters will be on hand in case of bad weather. “As part of this fashion show, we’re proud to support V-Day 2009. We had a great show last year, with over 150 attending,” Kinney says. “We look forward to a huge crowd again this year so people can see what’s going to be hot in fashion, hair and makeup. We’re very excited to help further the Vagina Monologue’s cause and encourage others to do the same.”
