2014 LifePath Hospice Fashion Show Set for Feb. 8

Designer brand names will be

front and center as models showcase clothing and accessories from Life’s

Treasures thrift stores at the third annual LifePath Hospice Fashion Show and

Boutique on Saturday, February 8 at Christ the King Catholic Church, 821 South

Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa.

The event begins at 9:30 a.m. with shopping at the

Marketplace Boutique, which features a wide selection of fashions and household

items from Life’s Treasures thrift stores, which are operated in support of

LifePath Hospice. Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. and the models hit the

runway at 12:15 p.m. Guest can continue to shop at the Marketplace Boutique

until 2 p.m.

“Savvy shoppers know that Life’s Treasures thrift stores

are the place to go for incredible items at great prices,” said Anne Ferrell,

LifePath Hospice development coordinator. “All sales support the care provided

by LifePath Hospice.”

Life’s

Treasures has grown to three stores in Hillsborough County. The original

location is at 1918 South Dale Mabry Highway in South Tampa. In 2008, a second

location opened at 4802 Gunn Highway in Carrollwood. Last summer, a Brandon

store opened at 1335 W. Brandon Boulevard.

Some of the outfits featured at the LifePath Hospice

Fashion Show include high-end fashions from Lilly, Ann Taylor, Dana Buchman,

St. John and Caché. “Throughout the year, the Life’s

Treasures thrift stores receive incredible donations of beautiful clothing and

accessories,” said Ferrell. “Our annual fashion show gives us the opportunity

to highlight the fashions shoppers can find at Life’s Treasures, raise funds

for a good cause and help educate the community about the value of hospice

care.”

Blues musicians Josh Lamkin and Nalani Rothrock of the

Suncoast Blues Society will serenade guests before and after the fashion show;

lunch will be catered by Chef Rick Ceglio and the students from the

award-winning culinary program at Sickles High School; and News Channel 8

anchor Gayle Sierens returns for a third year as celebrity emcee.

General admission tickets at $35. This year LifePath

Hospice is offering a new VIP ticket level for $100, which includes entry to
