Grand Rapids, Mich. (WOTV) - It was all about fashion, fun and a fab time at the Goei Center on Wednesday night. Guests enjoyed a live art demonstration by Reb Roberts, silent auction, live music from Bennett, and strolling hors d’oeuvres from Panera Bread.
 
Media personalities, community leaders and adorable little ones hit the runway to benefit the Dwelling Center. The runway show was not only about fashion, but a runway to hope for women in our community taking the first step to a fresh start.
