The Washington Humane Society (WHS) will host the Fashion for Paws 8th Annual Runway Show (F4P) and fundraiser onSaturday, April 12, 2014, at the beautiful Omni Shoreham Hotel, located at 2500 Calvert Street NW. Chaired by Dr. Ashley Gallagher and featuring Co-Hosts, WJLA’s Scott Thuman and Dr. Katy Nelson, F4P kicks off at 8:00 p.m. with festivities until 12:00 a.m.

F4P is one of the DC area’s most popular runway benefits of the season! Designed by Design Foundry and sponsored by Audi, this year’s event will welcome more than 1,000 guests to celebrate the life-saving programs of WHS, while getting an exclusive look at the latest trends in fashion. Fundraising Models will be dressed by the luxury retailers of Tysons Galleria, with stunning hair and makeup provided by Toka Salon & Day Spa. Our four-footed models will be outfitted by Wagtime with signature doggie couture to accent the designs worn by the two-legged runway models.

Tickets and Tables are ON SALE NOW at www.fashionforpaws.org.

Participating models are wrapping up a friendly, ten-week fundraising competition, in hopes of raising a minimum of $5,000 to secure their spot on the runway. With less than three weeks to go, they are in the final stages of helping us reach our fundraising goal of $620,000, benefiting more than 43,000 animals in Washington DC every year.

General Admission tickets are $100, and provide guests with a special lounge area with private bars to view the runway show. A few remaining $200 VIP tickets give guests a seat for the runway show, along with a VIP gift bag and early access to the event at 7:00pm. This year there are more than 60 VIP seated tables available for $3,000 to $6,000, accommodating six or eight people each. These guests will enjoy a gourmet, three-course meal just steps away from the main show.  All VVIP tables, accommodating ten guests each for $10,000, are the best seats in the house and right next to the runway. Limited quantities remain.

This year’s show features a new runway design, generously provided by Design Foundry. Additional sponsors include Audi, Atmosphere, Maryland Sound, and Quince Imaging, who make this event even more of a success by kindly donating the majority of their services for set design, production, lighting, sound, staging, and more.
