BECKLEY, W.Va. (WVVA) – Next month, West Virginia University’s Beckley Institute of Technology will host a fashion show fundraiser. The university is using the event as a way to raise money for its athletic department to ensure its ability to continue competing at the national level and to recruit athletes.
The show is being sponsored by the New River Gorge Regional Development Authority and will feature designs made by global designers from West Virginia.
Jen Wood, Executive Director of University Relations at WVU Tech, says this unique fundraising approach has won nothing but support.
“This is the first signature event we’ve done for athletics in over a decade, and, so, everyone is really excited and has been so supportive from the campus, from people in the community…Our community models are excited. Our sponsors have been great and our retailers have been great to work with, just giving people an opportunity to do this.”
The Glam Night Out fashion show will be held at the Resort at Glade Springs on October 22nd. Here, members of the community will model fashion on a runway.
Tickets for the event are $75 and sponsorship opportunities are still available. Visit www.wvutech.edu/glam to learn more.
