On Saturday, September 16, 2023, the Clearwater Community Volunteers (CCV) hosted their much-anticipated annual fundraiser, Fashions with Flair, at the elegant Fort Harrison—a venue known for its breathtaking ambiance and gourmet dining. Spearheaded by Pam Ryan Anderson, Executive Director of CCV, this event was not only a visual delight but also a major success in raising funds for vital community programs.
The fashion show featured stunning designs from Pippa Pelure, a chic boutique based in St. Petersburg. Models graced the runway in vibrant, stylish pieces that captured the essence of the season. Guests were also treated to an exciting silent auction boasting nearly 200 curated items, ranging from unique gift baskets to luxurious getaways—making for some lively bidding throughout the evening.
In addition to the glamour and entertainment, the event had a powerful purpose. Proceeds from the evening benefit several of CCV’s outreach initiatives, including the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Police Athletic League (PAL) in Lealman, Winter Wonderland, and other youth and family-focused charitable projects supported by the organization.
CCV’s Fashions with Flair is more than just a dazzling night—it’s a celebration of generosity, community, and the belief that style can serve a greater mission.
Mark your calendar—this unforgettable event returns every September, bringing beauty, heart, and purpose together in one incredible evening.
