Fashion & Beauty For A Cause

By Becca Z. Towery

REAL STYLE is when Fashion & Beauty come together for a cause. Being a fashion-savvy philanthropist isn’t just about buying clothes or products: it’s about raising awareness for a cause close to your heart. For example, We’ve Got Style teamed up with REAL Exclusive Magazine to raise awareness of “self-esteem, self-worth and self-image” of youth. Our Ranch Chic at The Lake Club event celebrated foxy fashions and beauty with a runway show and silent auction, donating proceeds to The Boys & Girls Clubs T.E.A.M Tennis Program.

No one knows more about beauty-savvy philanthropy than our “Ranch Chic” Beauty Sponsor, Debora Ashman, and Independent Mary Kay Sales Director; marykay.com/dporath ^[1].

Debora reminds us all that Mary Kay touches hearts through a powerful legacy of giving back to the global community – all thanks to one amazing woman, Mary Kay Ash who turned her passion for beautiful lives into a one-of-a-kind success story. The Mary Kay business opportunity has helped women from Kansas to Kazakhstan discover extra income, empowered choices and true beauty from the inside out. Mary Kay Ash founded her Company on the Golden Rule and emphasized the importance of giving back to others. That’s why every day Mary Kay is changing the lives of women and children around the world. It is part of the Mary Kay heritage, and Debora is honored to continue Mary Kay Ash’s legacy of making a difference. Mary Kay truly believes that “Helping Women and Children, and Our World, Is a Beautiful Thing!” The Mary Kay Foundation™ was created in 1996, and its mission is twofold: to fund research of cancers affecting women and to help prevent domestic violence while raising awareness of the issue. The Mary Kay Foundation™ has awarded $70.7 million to shelters and programs addressing domestic violence prevention and cancer researchers and related causes throughout the United States.

When it comes to fashion-savvy philanthropy our “Ranch Chic” Fashion Show presenter, FOXY LADY comes to mind, as fashion is always taking center stage with their participation in fundraising fashion shows in an effort to support charitable organizations assisting women and children in need throughout the community. The moment Lorry Eible saw the cute little Cape Cod-style house on Siesta Key in Sarasota, FL in 1972, she knew her dream store, Foxy Lady, would become a reality. It started more as a beachwear store, catering to the local clientele of Siesta Key and its many visitors. As Lorry continued bringing fashions to Sarasota from designers ranging from New York to Los Angeles and around the globe, word spread and so did the need for a larger location, which is the current Foxy Lady Siesta Key store that is now run and partnered by Lori Ann Steiner, who has been a part of the Foxy Lady family for many, many years. As the demand for impeccable service and trend-setting fashion grew in Sarasota, another Foxy Lady location emerged. Foxy Lady West on St. Armand’s Circle opened in 1984. “It quickly became the flagship store catering to clientele from all over the world,” states General Manager/Buyer Jodi Frauhiger, who has managed the store for the past 20 years and commentated this year’s Ranch Chic fashion show.
