Be Inspired Fashion Show to benefit Susan G. Komen

Belk of Seneca hosts its fifth annual “Be Inspired” fashion show, featuring breast cancer survivors from the community, and brunch to benefit Susan G. Komen For the Cure. The event takes place Sept. 19 from 10am to noon at the Tiki Hut Lakeside Grill. This year’s event features an inspiring group of breast cancer survivors from the community, sharing their stories as they model Belk fashions on the catwalk. A member of Clemson’s Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity is escorting each model. There will also be a line-up of guest speakers and local performers. Tickets for the event are $10 and include a mimosa, brunch on the shores of Lake Keowee provided by the Tiki Hut and the chance to win a variety of door prizes. Participants can purchase raffle tickets for $1 each and enter to win prizes such as a boating package from Keowee Marina and Belk, various Belk kitchen appliances, a special Biltmore getaway package including a two-night stay at a Hampton Inn in Asheville, Biltmore Tickets and more. All ticket proceeds will be donated to Susan G. Komen For the Cure. “We are thrilled to be a part of an event that celebrates local breast cancer survivors and their stories,” said Belk store manager Heather Trevino. “The Oconee community has fully supported this event, from the models and guests participating in the event, to those sharing their time and talents to entertain, to the dozens of local businesses, like the Tiki Hut, that have generously contributed.” This event is held in conjunction with Belk’s company-wide Susan G. Komen For the Cure fundraising event. In the past four years, the “Be Inspired” event alone has contributed over $10,900 locally to raising breast cancer awareness and finding a cure. Belk contributed $411,854 company-wide to Susan G. Komen For the Cure in 2014. Event and prize tickets are now on sale at the Belk store of Seneca, the Tiki Hut and by community volunteers.
