The organization's goal is to promote positivity and hope as they become an 'ARC Village' for Houston and future locations to-come across the globe. They've invited industry professionals to speak about their experiences and to provide a fun insight on what the future holds. Special guest NFL Veteran Garrick Jones and H-Town Corvettes will make an appearance to support the charity event. The fashion show will feature the work of local Seamstress and Fashion Designer Treena Henry as she style the young models in exclusive handmade garb.
Zuriel Gibson, Founder of The Gibson Lupus ARC is making tread to 'help save our future!' Gibson stated, "Several years ago, they said 20% of 1.5 million Americans with Lupus are passing away due to complications or lack of knowledge and those numbers grow larger each year. The children are our future. We at the Gibson Lupus ARC are hosting our 1st Annual Children's Fashion Show to raise Lupus & Autoimmune disease awareness for our children red carpet style. We are giving away a scholarship to a lupus recipient."
There will be 11 kids from ages 2-15 years old hitting the runway in front of attendees. That Butta Baby will be present sampling handmade body butter (products available for purchase), Swanky Style Boutique will have chic fashion on hand and TB Sweet Treats will provide you with sweet tooth cravings for the evening. Partial proceeds from food and beverage sales will go towards The Gibson Lupus ARC.
"Modeling is a way to boost our kid's confidence and for us to celebrate them." -Zuriel Gibson
