Clearwater, FL – September 15, 2025 – On Saturday, September 13, 2025, the Clearwater Community Volunteers (CCV) hosted their annual Fashions with Flair fundraiser at the historic Fort Harrison, delivering an unforgettable evening of elegance, entertainment, and philanthropy. This sold-out event brought together community members, local leaders, and generous donors for an afternoon dedicated to supporting impactful local programs.
The venue, adorned with stunning décor, set the stage for an evening filled with gourmet cuisine, lively entertainment, and a warm, uplifting atmosphere. A highlight of the afternoon was the highly anticipated fashion show, featuring chic and sophisticated designs from St. Petersburg’s own Pippa Pelure boutique. Models graced the runway, captivating guests with a display of style and glamour.
The silent auction was another standout, offering nearly 200 unique, high-value items. The star of the auction? An adorable puppy sponsored by the SPCA TampaBay, which stole hearts and found a loving new home, adding a heartwarming touch to the evening’s festivities.
Proceeds from Fashions with Flair directly benefit vital community initiatives, including the Sheriff’s Police Athletic League in Lealman, Winter Wonderland, and other local charities supported by CCV. These programs provide mentorship, joy, and essential resources to children and families across Pinellas County, embodying CCV’s mission to “Love and Help Children.”
“This year’s event was a tremendous success, thanks to the incredible support of our community,” said Joanie Sigal, Spokesman and Co-Chair of the Event of Clearwater Community Volunteers. “Every ticket and bid made a tangible difference in the lives of children and families, and we’re already excited to make next year’s event even bigger.”
Plans for the 2026 Fashions with Flair are already in motion, promising another spectacular evening of fashion, fun, and philanthropy. CCV extends heartfelt thanks to all attendees, donors, and volunteers who made this year’s fundraiser a resounding triumph.
