FBC, we ask for sponsorships for each participant to help offset the cost of the gift
cards to purchase outfits. However, if a school or organization wanted to approach
local retailers to supply gift cards, that creates a great community partnership.
Moving away from dinner after the show really helped our staff focus on
showcasing the students and not feeling rushed to get the runway transitioned for
dinner and dancing. The MCs and music can also make or break the mood of the
event. You would be surprised how many secret talents or passions your staff have,
and oftentimes there is a budding fashionista or a DJ in your midst who is ready to
write a descriptive script and generate excitement as students walk the runway. A
fashion show can take place any time of the year and be incorporated into
traditional holidays like Valentine's Day or align with a month like October when
we celebrate Orientation and Mobility.
The Fashion Show is an event our families look forward to each year. It is an
exciting, inclusive event that allows our students to shine brightly. The FBC
Fashion Show is another way that we celebrate our students and their remarkable
abilities, their determination, and, of course, their personalities. Each year, we want
to take the show to the next level, and we look forward to 2025 being even more
spectacular and meaningful for our students and their families.
We have included a checklist so that you can create a Fashion Show at your school
or organization.
