The 9th annual Compassion Through Fashion fundraiser is set to take place on March 1 at 6 p.m. at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, and it’s all in the name of a good cause. This annual event, hosted by a local nonprofit known as New Directions, focuses on tackling some of the most pressing issues in our community, such as homelessness, poverty, and addiction.

Fashion with a Purpose

So what makes this event so special? The fundraiser showcases unique fashion items handcrafted from recycled materials. Talk about creativity! Picture this: a stunning dress made entirely out of grocery bags, boots cleverly designed from bottle tops, and a funky purse made out of—you guessed it—duct tape. These innovative designs reflect not just artistic flair, but also a commitment to sustainability and resourcefulness.

Numerous talented designers will be competing in various fun categories including most creative, most humorous, most wearable, and of course, the people’s choice award.

And let’s not forget the live entertainment that will set the mood for the evening.
