Boutique retailer Pink Avenue is organizing a charitable event, “For the Love of Women,” to raise funds for Abby Hill, whose mission is to help at-risk families by providing housing and individual and group training in a “safe, simple and sustainable way,” according to a news release.

The event will include a fashion show set to live music, a designer fashion and jewelry showcase, giveaways, and a silent auction.

Doors open at 7 p.m. at Vapors Live, 315 Park Ave. on Friday, Feb. 4. The fashion show will take place at 7:30 p.m., and “incorporate a special recognition of local women in the community that are the building blocks for the area’s future,” the release said.

Tickets are $25 and all persons are welcome. Tickets are on sale now at Pink Avenue, 3948 Central Ave., and can be purchased online at http://www.vaporslive.com.

“Proceeds will go towards building a cottage for a single mother and her children at Abby Hill’s new Family Life Campus just outside Hot Springs. Guests will also be treated to goody bag compliments of Pink Avenue,” the release said.

“We are so excited to be putting this event on for a FABULOUS cause! Brant and Michelle are doing incredible work at Abby Hill and we couldn’t be happier to help. The event will feature great music in a historic venue with 20 models and some incredible clothing. Should be a lot of fun and hopefully raise a lot of money for a worthy cause,” event organizer Cassidy Allen, owner of Pink Avenue, said in the release.

“Abby Hill began work on the 144-acre Family Life Campus in May 2019,” the release said. “The campus will include shortterm residences for at-risk parents and their children, mentoring, training and counseling for all family members and family groups, and parenting classes and family focused day camps.”
