JudyWear Boutique and Wet & Wild Water Aerobics of Sun Lakes will once again present a Stylin’ and Sippin’ fashion show fundraiser to benefit Parents Of Murdered Children (POMC) on Feb. 5 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the San Tan Ballroom in Sun Lakes. You are invited to come sip a cocktail and nibble on appetizers while enjoying spring fashions by JudyWear Boutique while at the same time supporting the local chapter of POMC. Our keynote speaker will be Autumn Curiel, the mother of Preston Lord, a local teen who tragically lost his life due to teen violence.

All proceeds (raffle and small-scale silent auction) benefit the East Valley Chapter of POMC, which is part of the national self-help organization dedicated solely to the aftermath and prevention of murder. With your help, POMC will be able to continue to offer survivors compassion, understanding, hope, and support as families work through their personal grief journeys toward reconstructing their lives.

Tickets are $35 and are available at JudyWear Boutique, 950 E. Riggs Road in Chandler, or call Marlys at 480-720-3251 or Sydney at 240-315-3665. Cash or check only, please.
