Runway to the Future: PBF's Charity Fashion Show Creates Pathways for Birmingham's Creative Youth

The intersection of fashion, education, and community impact came alive recently as the Poze Bazaar Foundation (PBF) hosted its transformative charity fashion show.

Jada Camille, 8th-grade student at Pizitz Middle School, models for an emerging fashion designer.

More than just a showcase of style, this event embodied our commitment to creating accessible pathways in arts education for Birmingham's youth.

A Night of Impact

The numbers tell a powerful story of community support and youth empowerment:

• Two Birmingham high school students received life-changing scholarships

• Three children gained access to essential counseling services at Prescott House Child Advocacy Center

• Over 30 young visual artists showcased their talents, with $900 awarded to top performers • Four ambitious Pizitz Middle School students gained hands-on fashion industry experience

Breaking Barriers in Creative Education

What sets this event apart wasn't just the stunning designs or the runway walks – it was the doors opened for Birmingham's next generation of creatives. In partnership with Riverchase Galleria and Belk, our designer and showcase provided a professional platform for emerging talent, while student volunteers got real-world experience in event production, styling, and creative direction.

Community Collaboration

The success of this event demonstrates what happens when Birmingham comes together to support youth arts education. Through strategic partnerships and community support, we're building a stronger foundation for creative education in our city. The scholarship fund's growth ensures we can continue providing opportunities for talented young individuals who might otherwise lack access to arts education.
