CLEARWATER, Fla. - July 1, 2025 - Clearwater Community Volunteers, (CCV), long-time part of Pinellas County's charitable landscape, is thrilled to announce its annual Fashions with Flair Fashion Show and Silent Auction will take place on Saturday, September 13th at the historic Fort Harrison in Clearwater, Florida. The event begins at 12:00pm and ends at 3:00pm. A gourmet lunch, raffle drawings, a silent auction and a fashion show of attire ranging from elegantly casual to ready-for-the-red-carpet gowns are on the agenda.

Tickets are $75 per person; reserved tables of ten are also available. The Fort Harrison is located at 210 S. Fort Harrison Ave. in Clearwater. The funds raised will assist two organizations. The first is the Clearwater Community Volunteers. The second is the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Police Athletic League with programming and support for the underserved children of Lealman, an unincorporated part of Pinellas County with high rates of poverty and crime.

“This event is not just about celebrating fashion, but also about making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need,” said Event Chair Joanie Sigal. “21% of Tampa Bay residents live in poverty – that means food insecurity, for one thing. By supporting this event, attendees will directly contribute to the invaluable work of Pinellas PAL, addressing critical issues and fostering positive change.”

“The Church of Scientology is proud to sponsor community events like the Fashions with Flair Fashion Show,” said Lisa Mansell, the Community Affairs Director for the Church. “Events like this are an investment in the youth of Pinellas County. As Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote ‘Save the child and you save the nation.’”
