"This is one of my favorite events that I have the privilege of planning," said Hannah Surrett, marketing and promotions coordinator at the Downtown Development Authority . "This event

involves a lot of downtown businesses, and I always have so much fun getting to know and work with the business owners! I think this is going to be the best fashion show we’ve ever had, and we are expecting it to get bigger and better every year."

One hundred percent of tickets sales are going to Tranquility House, a domestic violence center that provides emergency shelter for women and their children who are victims of domestic violence.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 at the door if available. You can purchase your tickets on downtown Cartersville’s website .

"I am so thrilled that we are having this event benefiting Tranquility House," continued Surrett. "They are such a deserving and worthy cause, and it has been amazing to see how the community

rallies behind this event because their name is attached to it! It has been an honor to work with them, and I hope our donation will make a significant difference in their organization.

"When purchasing tickets, there is the option of donating an additional $5, $10, $20, to Tranquility House, and I sincerely hope people make extra donations! Any amount will make a difference in a woman's life.”

Event sponsors are H&R Block and Copperwood Company.
