Barrier Islands Free Medical Clinic To Hold ‘Fashion For A Cause’ Fundraiser

The event includes a “Sip ‘n Shop,” live fashion show, and a luncheon featuring boutique clothing lines by Lilly Pulitzer, Holly & Brooks, J. McLaughlin, and Spartina. Most importantly, the annual event helps support the uninsured populations of Johns, James & Wadmalaw Islands, Folly Beach, Meggett, Ravenel, Hollywood, Walterboro, and the Hospitality Workers of Downtown Charleston and West Ashley, ensuring that they have ongoing access to high quality, free health care.

“A Sip ’n Shop will kick off the event, with merchandise available to purchase from our four featured local boutiques,” said Event Chairperson Kimberly Nevin. “A fashion show and luncheon follow with an additional opportunity to shop following. Importantly,  $.82 of every dollar raised goes directly for free patient care at the Clinic. Kick off the holiday season and come enjoy a lovely afternoon of fashion and fun to support our patients.”

Tickets can be purchased online at bifmc.org/fashion. A single ticket costs $75, as well as four Sponsorship levels available, allowing tables to accommodate up to 12 people. All proceeds will go to support free health care services for uninsured adults at BIFMC.

Attendees are encouraged to RSVP and purchase tickets by November 15th, or before the event is sold out. Sponsor packages are available.

For those looking for another fun way to support the clinic, BIFMC hosts both an annual Sporting Clays Tournament each Fall, as well as a Charity Golf Invitational each Spring. Additionally, FortyEight Wine Bar & Kitchen will host a charity fundraising event on Tuesday, December 5th from 5 pm – 9 pm, providing 50% of all dining revenue to support free health care services at Barrier Islands Free Medical Clinic.
