Fashion Show
RIDE THE WAVE OF FASHION AND PHILANTHROPY
The Southlake Chapter of the National Charity League proudly presents our 29th Annual Fashion Show and Benefit, on Sunday, March 8, 2026, supporting multiple charitable causes. This year’s theme, High Tide High Fashion, invites guests to dive into a sun-soaked world where beach club energy meets runway-ready style. Watch as our talented Senior and Junior student models light up the runway in the latest trends, then enjoy coastal-inspired refreshments, bid on exciting items at our live and silent auctions, and be entertained by our dynamic Emcees.
The 2025 event raised over $110,000 from sponsorships, ticket sales and auction proceeds to benefit charities in need. For our 2026 show, we seek to again raise $110,000, of which 100% will go directly to 13 local charities in need, including: Amy’s Wish with Wings, Christmas is For Children (CIFC), GRACE Feed Our Kids (FOK), The Humane Society of North Texas (HSNT), Me Squared Cancer Foundation, Metroport Meals on Wheels, Mid-Cities Christmas Providers, The Miracle League of Southlake, National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC), Carroll Dragons Special Olympics, Stepping Stones Foundation, Summer Santa, and The Gifting Project.
Our sponsors play a crucial role in bringing this unique event to life. By becoming an NCL Fashion Show sponsor, you can showcase your services to the Southlake community while making a significant contribution to support deserving local charities with just one generous gesture.
On behalf of our 13 charity recipients and nearly 350 members of NCL Southlake, thank you for your consideration and support.
