    A far-from-dull fundraiser for Women’s Resource Agency that includes a fashion show, a live bachelor auction featuring Colorado Springs Professional Firefighters, additional live and silent auctions and dinner. The event raises awareness and financial support for WRA and its programs in Colorado Springs.

    Locally, WRA helps women in transition work toward self-sufficiency through its “Dress for Success” program. At the Dress for Success boutique in the Citadel Mall, women are given the skills, tools and wardrobe they need to secure employment. WRA’s Intercept program helps at-risk girls in the Pikes Peak Region. Girls’ success is critically important in Colorado – where women and girls make up 50 percent of the state’s population.

    In fact:
    - In 2007, nearly 7 percent of girls under the age of 18 dropped out of school.
    - In Colorado, 17 percent of girls under the age of 18 are living in poverty … that number has increased 75 percent since 2000.
