Location Coming Soon — We are securing the perfect Roaring Twenties–inspired setting for an unforgettable afternoon of elegance, celebration, and community.

​

Join us for Respect Your Elders: Make It Fashion, an inspiring fundraiser celebrating the personal style, individuality, and vibrant spirit of older adults and individuals with disabilities. Guests will enjoy a Roaring Twenties–themed afternoon of recognition, community, and celebration—highlighting confidence and self-expression at every age. Our models wear outfits from their own closets, honoring authenticity, accessibility, and the belief that true style is shaped by lived experience—not trends. With a Roaring Twenties backdrop, guests are invited to enjoy an afternoon of fashion, connection, and celebration.

 

A special highlight of the program is the Golden Trailblazer recognition, honoring an individual 60 years of age or older whose life, leadership, and legacy continue to inspire and uplift our community. Every ticket purchased and every sponsorship secured supports Circle of Care St. Louis’ essential services, including in-home support, care coordination, benefits navigation, and wellness services that help individuals remain safely and independently in their homes.
