The Big Hearts for Little Hearts Loma Linda Guild hosted its first fashion show benefiting Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) on Wednesday, May 7. The event, “Carolyn’s Closet: an Evening of Fashion and Music,” took place in the rotunda of the Centennial Complex at Loma Linda University Health and welcomed nearly 250 guests. The inaugural event raised approximately $10,000 for LLUCH, which will go toward the purchase of fetal monitors and rocking chairs for the pediatric emergency department. “The goal of this event was to support the medical miracles so many children desperately need,” said event coordinator, Leigh Anderson. “The Loma Linda Guild is so appreciative of all the wonderful supporters of our amazing Children’s Hospital. Many little souls will be blessed thanks to their generosity!” Jillian Payne, executive director of the LLUCH Foundation also expressed her gratitude to those who made the evening a success. “What a beautiful, fun and fashionable way to support our children in the hospital. The vision of the Loma Linda Guild for this event was grand and it absolutely matched the implementation of the evening. It is such a blessing to have the incredible Big Hearts for Little Hearts Loma Linda Guild leading the way in advocacy and community involvement for our kids. They really know how to bring people together to make things happen.” The fashion show was designed to showcase the latest styles for two particular groups: teenagers and their moms. Students from local high schools modeled fashions from Le Roy’s Shoes & Clothing, and Inland Empire women, including Guild members and LLUH staff, modeled designs from Chico’s. In addition to the fashion show, guests were treated to music from the Loma Linda Brass Quintet as they arrived and shopped the boutiques, and Redlands East Valley High School choral ensemble performed a Disney medley during intermission.
