Fashion Week at The Bellevue Collection Raises More Than $106,000 for Local Non-Profits

BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- For the Kemper Freeman family, Fashion Week at The Bellevue Collection means more than just showcasing the latest fall trends, it means raising funds for two deserving local non-profit organizations. Special Olympics Washington and Bellevue LifeSpring will receive 100 percent of ticket sales from two runway events held Sept. 21 and 22. The two events, Posh Party Trend Show and The Collective Runway Show, raised more than $50,000 each for the charities' missions.

Posh Party Trend Show raised more than $50,000 for Bellevue LifeSpring, one of the longest-running, non-profits in Bellevue and an organization dedicated to helping feed, clothe and educate local children and families. The money raised will go a long way to help give them an education, food and the assistance they need to thrive.

The Collective Runway Show raised more than $56,000 for Special Olympics Washington to support their athletes as they compete in a variety of sporting events throughout the U.S., and instill a sense of confidence and pride in such amazing people.

"During Fashion Week, we are able to celebrate fabulous fall fashions with dynamic runway shows and make a difference in the lives of so many," said VP of Marketing for The Bellevue Collection, Jennifer Leavitt. "We live, work and play within such a diverse neighborhood and Bellevue is home to many walks of life. Despite several flourishing businesses within Bellevue, children in our community are going without the food or the care they need. As their neighbors, it's important to us to support them and shine the spotlight on organizations who are doing an amazing job helping people."

Over the past 13 years, The Bellevue Collection and Kemper Family have donated all ticket sales from the Posh Party Trend Show and The Collective Runway Show equating to approximately $1 million.

Each year, Fashion Week draws hundreds of fashionistas from across Western Washington and beyond, eager for a sneak peek at new trends, making The Bellevue Collection one of the hottest Pacific Northwest destinations for fall fashion must-haves, interactive styling sessions, beauty tips, and much more.
