We are thrilled to invite you to our highly anticipated event, Fashion Fusion, hosted by the Southwest Dallas County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. This extraordinary evening will be held on Saturday, September 13th, 2025, at 7:00 PM, at the Traphene Hickman Library, located at 450 Pioneer Trail, Cedar Hill, Texas.
Fashion Fusion promises to be an unforgettable night celebrating fashion, creativity, and our vibrant community while supporting a meaningful cause. All proceeds from the event will directly benefit The High-Rise Day Habilitation Program, which provides day-to-day support and services to adults with developmental and intellectual challenges. We chose this agency because of its art therapy program, which provides students with a creative outlet to express their feelings and bestows a sense of pride and ownership of finished projects. The program also includes a music component that is designed to alleviate stress, improve self-esteem, enhance verbal communication skills, and develop coping mechanisms. To help expand these life-changing programs, we’re inviting you to contribute a donation towards this cause. Your generous gift will support the creation of a new podcast and Tiny Desk space, as well as provide essential art supplies for participants. Together, we can empower voices, unlock creativity, and build a stronger, more inclusive community. Look for information on our website on August 1st to register to attend and to donate.
