Goodwill SWFL's Pathways to Opportunity Program is an adult training program for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

About 40 participants will be involved in the event, making up five classes. Each class receives $100 to select and purchase merchandise from Goodwill in order to dress themselves, or their models for the runway.

"Our participants are excited to share their talents with you at our Fashion and Talent Showcase," states Goodwill Event Coordinator, Rachel Stanborough. "Don't miss your opportunity to see them strut their stuff on a runway, or blow you away with their amazing talents!"

All proceeds support increased participant community and event outings, program expansions and supplies for hands on training and learning. Sponsorship packages are available.
