Girls on the Run Bayou Region has announced the celebrity judges for their first-ever Best Dressed Sneaker Soiree!
The Best Dressed Sneaker Soiree will take place on Friday, March 15, 2024 at the Houma Municipal Auditorium beginning at 6:00 p.m. Ten local couples will throw on their best sneakers and cocktail attire, and walk the runway for a good cause! See a complete list of the couples competing here.
“Imagine an evening filled with cocktail attire and trendy sneakers, as our community unites to support a cause that is dear to all our hearts,” reads an official statement by Girls on the Run Bayou Region. “By participating in this event, you will not only be treated to a visually stunning fashion show from ten local couples, but you will also be making a tangible difference in the lives of young girls.”
The funds generated from this event will contribute to the enhancement of the Girls on the Run Bayou Region programs, allowing leaders to broaden the program’s reach and influence. Through Girls on the Run, girls are empowered to develop their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. They acquire essential life skills, build confidence, and forge lasting friendships. By endorsing this event, community members are assisting Girls on the Run in providing these opportunities to an even greater number of girls in our community.
