Tickets are $25, and also include a glass of wine, with $10 from each entry going to Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs.
Richelle Leckey, community engagement coordinator for the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs, said when the businesses reached out to them, they were thrilled.
“We appreciate it when businesses and even individuals come to us and say, ‘Hey, we want to put on a fundraiser because we believe in what you do.’ That’s awesome,” said Leckey.
The money will be going to support an effort to put up a climbing wall within the Martin Avenue club.

“We do lots of activities, but one of the things we’ve been excited to do is look at a climbing wall that would really benefit the kids,” said Leckey. “It will be giving kids some recreational opportunities, which is a big part of what we do.”
Cocktails will be available starting at 5 p.m., with the fashion show to follow at 6:30.
Guests will get a sneak peek at the spring/summer collection of shoes and clothing from Sassy Shoes while enjoying dishes from one of Kelowna's newest food stops, Xchange Tapas Bar and Lounge.
