Q: What is Fashion for the Cure?

A: Fashion for the Cure (FTTC) is a charity event that is supporting the Dragonfly Foundation this year.  It’s a really good cause and the money raised is going toward helping kids with cancer.

Q: How are models for the event selected?

A: People on the FCCT committee choose models to participate in the show, but people can also request to be a part of the event.

Q: What is the fitting/preparation process?

A: The committee heads, two to three seniors, give models times and places to get fitted.  They meet us there to oversee that everything is fitting well and looks right.  That normally happens about two weeks before the actual event, but mine was late, so I had it this past Monday and Tuesday.

Q: Is this your first year being part of the event?

A: Yes, this is my first year in the event and I’m really excited.  Generally people only get to be in it once so that others have the opportunity to be in it too.

Q: Would you encourage others to participate next year?

A: I definitely think people should try to get involved next year.  It’s a great experience and it’s for a great cause that touches us all in some way.

About the Contributor
Taylor Evans, Staff Writer
My name is Taylor Evans and I am a senior this year. Four years later, I once again find myself on the amazing staff of The Leaf as an associate editor and cover story editor. I am so excited to return for my fourth and final year on The Leaf, and I can’t wait for what this year will bring. In my spare time my main hobby is to write, specifically fiction. Over the last six years, I’ve also been working on a young-adult fiction novel, "The Unknown," that has finally been published.  When I’m not writing, I’m reading, and when I’m not reading I’m playing volleyball.  And when all that isn’t enough, I turn to baking, which is a stress reliever- plus, who doesn’t like munching on cookies every once in a while?
