Haute Couture Fashion Package
PDDBM's Fashion Show commemorates Black History Month, spotlighting African American impact in US fashion since the 1860s. It instills pride and encourages ongoing contributions, yet stark stats reveal systemic challenges for young African Americans—high poverty and educational inequities worsened by systemic racism. This event serves as a beacon toward equity. Requested funding will offer free access to middle and high schoolers, aiming to inspire and educate. Excess revenue supports PDDBM's core programs for youth, fostering skills and empowerment for a brighter, more equitable future.
