(INDIANAPOLIS) - Live Out Loud Charity (LOLC) is hosting a fashion show to raise funds for suicide prevention and anti-bullying. Local and international fashion designers will showcase their collections on stage at one of Indianapolis’ premier venues; the Arts Garden.
Over 75 models of all sizes, heights, ages, and ethnic backgrounds will take the stage to stand against suicide and bullying. "Our models are real people affected by suicide, depression, bullying, and low self-esteem. Each person that walks our runway is empowered by our training and the incredible experiences they gain at LOLC events. Live Out Loud Charity is a major support system for individuals needing a positive outlet to rebuild their confidence," states founder, Sherrie Gearheart.
Spokespersons including several Teen Indiana Ambassadors along with Sherrie Gearheart will educate the audience on the signs of depression, the steps for suicide intervention, and the resources available for those in need. Funds raised from the benefit will aid in the organization's 2019 community outreach in core character development and anti-bullying.
