On Tuesday, September 28, 2010, Eric Finn Custom Clothiers and Becky's Fund will hold the Second Annual *Walk This Way* Charity Fashion Show to help Becky’s Fund fight against domestic violence.
Based upon the success of last year’s *Walk This Way,* this fall’s event is expected to again garner the support of the area’s social and philanthropic elites. In addition to Becky’s Fund’s generous sponsors such as Vitamin Water, MillerCoors, Popchips and Dr. Michael Gocke of Virginia Oral, Facial & Implant Surgery, the honorary committee includes some of the most respected leaders in the community; including D.C.

A one-of-a-kind event, guests will enjoy an over-the-pool runway fashion show, along with complimentary cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres throughout the evening. The event will feature a silent auction featuring luxurious items such as VIP tickets to nationally broadcast television shows such as the David Letterman Show and Live with Regis and Kelly, jewelry by local jeweler and artist, Melissa Lew, a painting by local artist, Maggie O’Neill, and airline tickets from OpenSkies.
