The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary in Dallas announces that Elizabeth Gambrell, community volunteer, will serve as chair of the 2019 Fashion Show & Luncheon on Tuesday, May 7, 2019. 

“Proceeds from the fashion show and luncheon will provide hope to the hungry, homeless, friendless and so many others in crisis in our community,” remarked Elizabeth Gambrell, event chair. “I am honored to have the opportunity to work with a wonderful group of volunteers to help make positive change in this way and look forward to the event at our new venue.”

The 27th annual event will be held for the first time at the AT&T Performing Arts Center, Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House, in the Dallas Arts District. Event highlights will include an opening reception, silent auction, a first view of the runway collection and shopping in the Chic Boutique, where gently worn or never worn designer clothing and accessories donated by some of North Texas’ best dressed and finest retailers are available for sale.

Afterwards, patrons will enjoy a seated lunch and final bidding on silent and runway auction items.
