Central Oregon Community College’s (COCC) annual Fashion Show took place on Saturday at the Bend campus, generating funds for the college’s clothing resource program. The event featured student-designed outfits and showcased local talent, drawing a diverse crowd.

“The Fashion Show not only highlights creativity but also supports a vital resource for students in need of clothing,” said event organizer Jessica Smith.

Proceeds from ticket sales and donations will directly fund the clothing program, which provides essential attire for students facing financial hardship. The show included a variety of styles, from casual wear to formal attire, all created by COCC fashion students.

Attendees were treated to live music and complimentary refreshments, adding to the event’s festive atmosphere. Many community members expressed their support for the initiative, emphasizing the importance of helping fellow students.

The clothing resource program at COCC has been operating for several years, aiming to alleviate some of the financial burdens students face while pursuing their education. This year’s fashion show not only raised funds but also awareness about the challenges many students encounter.

COCC continues to engage the community through various events, seeking to provide support and resources for its student body. The Fashion Show is one of many efforts the college undertakes to foster a supportive learning environment.
