Viva La Moda, chaired by Laura Applegate and Tania Luviano took place at the Manchester Grand Hyatt and featured a spring showcase by Gretchen Productions. Carol LeBeau returned as celebrity emcee. This year’s fashion show proceeds benefited SAFIR (Supporting Adolescents and Families in Recovery), an ongoing family support group for adolescents aged 12-18 and their parents; Don Allen ParentCare Family Recovery Center, an outpatient alcohol and drug-treatment program for women who are pregnant or with young children; and Stein Education Center, which serves students with autism, developmental disabilities, or severe emotional disturbance by providing individualized educational and behavioral programs.
