Local firefighters strutted their stuff down the runway at a holiday fashion show and silent auction hosted by Dadeland Mall, a Simon mall in Miami, Fla., on Thursday, Nov. 3. Proceeds from the auction were donated to Simon Youth Foundation.
More than 350 people attended the event, Men of Dadeland, a Girl’s Night Out, which was emceed by Miami TV personality Lissette Gonzalez, a meteorologist at Miami’s CBS 4. Firefighters and local celebrities modeled top retailers' best seasonal fashions during the event. Participating firefighters also sold 2012 calendars to benefit the event's other selected charity, Safe Haven for Newborns.
The night’s silent auction for SYF raised a total of $956, and the money will benefit Simon Youth Academies, which are non-traditional high schools supported by SYF that serve students who are homeless, seriously ill, pregnant, or otherwise unable to attend their community’s traditional high school, as well as Simon Youth Scholarships, which target first-generation college students in any community that is home to a Simon mall.
