It’s hard to believe how a little idea to do a fashion show for charity has blossomed into an event that typically gathers hundreds of people and last year raised over $220,000. Project Funway celebrates 10 years of fashion, fun and fundraising efforts to help the Education Foundation of Eagle County with its virtual event Saturday at 7 p.m.
The idea for Project Funway was created by friends Amy Fordham, Pavan Krueger, Diana Scherr, Claire Thayer and Jeanne Whitney.
“The five friends were in a living room hanging out enjoying a glass of wine when one of them discussed a new dress she was going to sew,” said Wendy Rimel, of Project Funway.
