Friday, March 21, 2014, the Inaugural Fashion Stars for a Cause were presented at a black tie reception and gala dinner at Dallas Country Club. If this event seems familiar it is because it is the exact same format as Fresh Faces of Fashion that was created by Chairperson Yvonne Crum to support Suicide & Crisis Center.

On February 27th, the best and brightest of Dallas’ well-heeled set gathered at the Diamond Doctor on Preston Road, to honor fourteen women who were chosen as Fashion Stars for a Cause by Beverly Drive Magazine. These fourteen women – Janee Hill, Regina Bruce, Antonia Hubert, Rhonda Marcus, Britt Harless, Robin Brock, Carla Miller, Ashley Burghardt, Hilary Kennedy, Alex Small, Toni Munoz Hunt and Cynthia Smoot – were selected to represent the Suicide and Crisis Center of North Texas in raising both funds and awareness for suicide prevention.

Philanthropist Yvonne Crum is leading the fight for suicide prevention in our community with the launch of a new event called Fashion Stars For A Cause. (If this concept sounds vaguely familiar it’s because this event is the reincarnation of the gala previously known as Fresh Faces of Fashion.) The kickoff party was held at Diamond Doctor last Friday night to announce this year’s Honorary Chairs, Rick and Melody Rogers.

According to fundraiser Toni Munoz Hunt, “My one big goal for 2014 is to help empower women in every aspect of my life: buy from women owned and operated businesses, get involved in organizations (like Dallas Women’s Foundation and Women Called Moses) that help toward the advancement of women, and lift women up daily. Sometimes we as women can be our worst enemies. I want to help change that and that starts right here with me!”
