Benefiting Montini's San Miguel Fund
Montini Catholic alumni and parents celebrated the "magic of giving" on Sunday, December 3rd at the Lasallian college preparatory high school's 40th Annual Fashion Show, held at the Doubletree by Hilton in Oak Brook. Student models, proud parents, friends and fashionistas kicked off the Christmas season in style.
The Christmas-themed fashion extravaganza is a much anticipated Montini tradition - featuring trendy and casual apparel, formal wear, furs and sparkling evening gowns, all modeled by Montini juniors, seniors and alumni and all for a good cause - to benefit Montini's San Miguel Fund. The scholarship fund helps provide financial assistance to Montini Catholic families finding themselves experiencing hardships, such as serious illness, death or severe financial difficulties. It provides students with an opportunity for a Catholic education that they may not otherwise be able to afford.
The event was chaired by Montini Catholic parents Mary Juda and Christina Alonzo and the star-studded runway show (because every Montini Bronco is a star!) was produced by Eugenia Scavone '84 and Carrie Pionke. The festive day featured a luncheon, pre-show vendor boutique and raffle opportunities before the student and alumni models danced their way down the runway.
"As a newcomer to the Annual Montini Fashion Show, it was a wonderful and enjoyable experience to see our students, parents and surrounding community come together to put on a great show and to raise funds to provide financial assistance and support to families," said Principal Chris Tiritilli. "Thank you to Mrs. Juda, and Mrs. Alonzo for their efforts in leading and organizing the event, and thank you to all who attended and donated!"
