TROY — Variety, a children’s charity, recently hosted its 11th annual SHINE Fashion Show fundraiser, featuring special needs children modeling eye-catching clothes.
Variety was founded in 1927 and helps provide children treatment for physical, mental and emotional needs, helping to build life skills and confidence. Variety also participates in humanitarian missions in developing countries around the world.
This year’s show took place Aug. 24 at the South Rotunda area in Somerset Collection, 2800 West Big Beaver Road. The proceeds will benefit the camp programs of FAR Therapeutic Arts & Recreation and the Variety 4-H Horseback Riding program.
“It’s for children with special needs, and all the models in the fashion show are special needs kids who benefit from FAR and Variety,” said Ruthie
