The cause is what first inspired Sarlitto, a freelance photographer, to launch her event. "The cause is incredibly important to me, for no reason other than it touches my heart and wanted to help in any way I can," she said. "I wanted to use what I love to do to help the cause - hence, a fashion show, hosted by my freelance photography business."
Prom Expo Fashion Show Saturday, Jan 12. Cole Junior High School, 100 Cedar Ave, East Greenwich. Admission is $5 and doors open at 6:30. All donations are graciously accepted towards the cause.
