Georgette's Holiday Fashion Show on December 11 was a wonderful way to ring in the holiday season! This year was especially notable as we celebrated the dedication of retired chair, Dianne Cox, and the rich history of this event that started as a labor of love for a few ladies in the Avila Women's Club. 

More than 400 people gathered for the luncheon and fashion show that included wives of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers players, including Monica Culpepper (wife of former Buc Brad Culpepper), Raunda Williams (wife of Doug Williams) and Michelle Pierson (wife of Pete Pierson) as well as other local celebrities like Kristen Renton from "Days of Our Lives."

Thanks to your generosity and that of major sponsors Dr. Jay Garcia/MediZone, Bovis Lend Lease and Rooms To Go Children's Fund, this was a record-setting year for the Broadway-style fashion show raising $25,000 to benefit St. Joseph's Children's Hospital, the third largest Children's Hospital in Florida.

A special thank you to event chairs Nora Musselman and Georgette Diaz, and to the fashion show committee for making this a wonderful and successful event.
