Cava, catwalk and afternoon tea: Age Care fashion show raises €2,400 for charity

Sixty-five guests, a crisp glass of Cava on arrival and a catwalk of quality outfits turned Thursday afternoon into vital support for vulnerable English-speaking residents on the Costa del Sol.

Fashion show raises €2,400 for vulnerable residents on the Costa del Sol

Age Care’s highly successful fashion show, held on Thursday, October 15, raised an incredible €2,400 in profit for the charity’s work supporting vulnerable English-speaking residents on the Costa del Sol.

Generously sponsored by CK La Quinta, the event welcomed 65 ticket holders to an afternoon of fashion, live entertainment and delicious afternoon tea. Guests were greeted with a complimentary glass of Cava, followed by an decadent afternoon tea provided by Carlos, Andrea and Susana of the popular Autana Restaurant, whom Age Care warmly thanks for their generosity.

Charity fashion show with models and live entertainment

The show featured a fabulous selection of quality clothing from the Age Care shop, brought to life by a wonderful team of models. Special thanks go to Babs and Larysa, who worked tirelessly to organise the clothes and liaise with the models to ensure everything ran smoothly. Talented local singer Alexandra Avery provided the sound track for the afternoon.

Raffle prizes donated by generous businesses along the coast

A raffle offered a huge array of prizes with anything you would wish for, donated kindly by many generous businesses from up and down the coast. Age Care thanks every one of them, as well as Global Radio for advertising the event and spreading the word throughout the local community.

Guests also browsed the Age Care pop-up shop, which sold quality clothing, including the actual outfits worn by the models during the show. It proved to be another great success, giving guests the chance to find something special while supporting a worthwhile cause.

Age Care was delighted to welcome Victoria from CK La Quinta, Mario Bravo, Mijas councillor, and members of the Mijas Communication team, whose attendance was greatly appreciated.

Age Care volunteers: the team that made the magic happen

Behind the scenes, a huge amount of hard work made the day a success. Age Care sincerely thanks its dedicated volunteers, who organised the clothing, sold tickets, sourced raffle prizes, prepared and arranged the afternoon tea plates, and coordinated the entertainment. Their enthusiasm, commitment and generosity of time are invaluable to the charity.

Above all, thanks go to everyone who attended. Every ticket, raffle entry and clothing sale helps Age Care continue its important work, and the €2,400 raised is a fantastic contribution. The afternoon showed what can be achieved when local businesses, volunteers and the wider community come together for a good cause. Fashion, friendship and fundraising, such a winning combination.
