Runways for Shelter


catherine barr

THE Third Annual Runways for Shelter fashion show and dinner was held on Thursday May 2 at West Vancouver's Capilano Golf and Country Club. The event is a great evening of fun and fashion which benefits the North Shore Crisis Services Society Sage House, "a safehouse for women and children affected by family violence." To date, over $13,000 has been raised as part of the Royal LePage shelter foundation. Guests were treated to fashions by Romantique, Phoenix and the Mensroom, as well as some fabulous silent auction items and live entertainment.
