At 7:30pm the fashion show, hosted by Tennessee pageant celebrity Cheryl Brehm, begins, featuring dresses and hats from “La Maison d’Alain” worn by models from Tribe Talent Management and featuring “heroes” who have survived breast cancer. Attendees will also have the opportunity to consult with Alain on fashion in preparation for some of the region’s marquee events such as The Iroquois Steeplechase and The Kentucky Derby. Following the fashion show, mix, mingle, and dance at the “Heroes in Heels” after party with DJ Ben Crespo.

Survivor Jill Davis, who will be walking in the fashion show, is excited that the ABC program will be conveniently available to the women of Central and South Williamson County, and also Maury County,

“I’m just so happy that it’s coming to Franklin, because now these women will be able to experience what I was able to do with my friends.”

Cheryl Brehm, Tennessee Pageant Celebrity and Heroes in Heels Master of Ceremonies notes, “I’m thrilled to partner with our local YMCA in bringing hope and support to breast cancer survivors! Like many of you, I’m close to numerous women who have courageously fought breast cancer including my family members, my dear friends, my coworkers and my neighbors. To me,  there is no greater honor than for women to serve other women. Now let’s show these ladies the meaning of community.”

Mary Elizabeth Hurst, another survivor who will walk in the fashion show, talks about the importance of the ABC program, “The focus is getting stronger and spiritually healthier and we created this bond that we will have for life.”
