On Saturday November 2nd, 2013 Heritage Hall will play host to the inaugural With Dignity Masquerade Ball, a fundraiser to benefit local charity Beauty Night Society.
The evening will be a presentation of local art, fashion by Nancy Perreault Collections, pole and pin-up performances, a silent auction, and intriguing costumes. Donations will go to support the Beauty Night’s three programs which aim to help women and youth build self-esteem, live with dignity, and make positive lifestyle choices.
As a prelude to the night’s festivities, the day’s activities also aim to fundraise for the charity. From 11am to 6pm, the Hall will be open for the public to attend a forum called “Skin Salon.” There will be speakers and vendors relating to:
- skin health
- the ingredients in beauty, body and skin care products
- corporate social responsibility
- the importance of buying “clean” products
Special guest speaker is author and local women’s health advocate Lorna Vanderheaghe. Entry is by donation.
The concept for the event was the brainchild of two local entrepreneurs in the “clean” beauty industry: Arline Trividic (owner of Smell This Aromatherapy, a local manufacturer of “clean” skin care products) and Estie Gonzalez (owner/operator of Derma Bright Clinic).
Beauty Night Society is celebrating its 36,000th makeover for impoverished women and youth. Monies raised will help them increase the number of makeovers given each week from 250 to 300. “Currently we have 10 organizations on the wait list who would like us to deliver services to their participants. We are hoping to raise the resources we need to be able to meet the growing need,” says Beauty Night founder Caroline MacGillivray.
