Autumns Nights Fundraiser– “More Than Just A Color” Fashion Show. 

“Reclaiming the Invisible…Achieving the Impossible”

 
The West End Community Empowerment Project of Lexington Inc. (W.E.C.E.P.) will hold its third Annual Autumns Nights Fundraiser– “More Than Just A Color” Fashion Show, Saturday, November 17, 2012.  The evening will showcase past and present program participants, community volunteers, and some local celebrities.  Each model will have the opportunity to express their unique creativity as they strut down the runway, highlighting the latest in fall fashion.

Here is additional information from WECEP:

The cost of hosting this event will require community and corporate donations.  One hundred percent of the proceeds from this event will be used to pay for our leased space through the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government, where we provide programming to children and families of the community and surrounding areas.  W.E.C.E.P. has never been charged any occupancy fee for space so we will have a short fall in this fiscal year of $21,600.00, which is equivalent to $1,800.00 per month.  As a volunteer Executive Director of 17 years, I have struggled with asking for help in meeting this new obligation, but then I realized this organization has impacted too many children, youth, and families in the Lexington community by unleashing their potential for greatness.  W.E.C.E.P’s greatest contribution to the community has been in providing out of school programming to students K-12^th grade with a focus on math, science, language arts, performing arts, service learning, community service, and volunteerism.  W.E.C.E.P strives daily to uphold and carry out its Motto “Reclaiming the Invisible…  Achieving the Impossible”.  The people in the community that we serve come from various walks of life with many challenges and hardships.  Our staff and volunteers are resilient and steadfast in meeting their physical, spiritual, and emotional needs so that they will have a brighter future.  In our seventeen-year journey, we have seen many of our participants graduate from high school, be the first generation in their families to go college and complete secondary education.  Many have obtained numerous college degrees and are now starting their careers.

All donations are tax-deductible.  All checks should be made payable to the West End Community Empowerment Project of Lexington Inc.  Please send your donation to 498 Georgetown Street Lexington, KY 40508 For more information, contact Dora M. Hudson, Executive Director, at 537-6379.
