BLUE ASH, OH (FOX19) - On March 21 at 6 p.m., Sycamore High School students will host Fashion for the Cure to benefit To Write Love on Her Arms, a non-profit dedicated to finding help for people struggling with depression, and the Cincinnati chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide and reaching out to people with mental disorders.

“I am so proud of our students and staff for continually reaching out to support others in need,” said Adrienne C. James, Ed.D., superintendent.  “Fashion for the Cure is one of many student-run events that show our students are not only talented young adults, but also caring individuals who can come together and make a difference.”

Event tickets can be purchased at the door for $10; a ticket plus an event t-shirt is $15. VIP tickets, which include a gift bag, t-shirt and preferred seating, are $50.

The fashion show will be held at Sycamore High School, 7400 Cornell Road.
