Linda Gausachs, Managing Director and CEO of Mrs. Multiverse said: “The WIN Model Fashion Show was a fantastic success and we were overwhelmed by the generous support that the public gave us on the day towards our charity. The funds that were raised will go towards our empowering projects like the Glamour Ladies Beauty make over, which helps to women who really need a boost to look and feel better.”

The Mrs. Multiverse finalist really put the fun into fundraising at their fashion show. We really appreciate their fundraising efforts as we rely on our supporters to carry on with the purpose of the foundation. Without their help we couldn't provide any of our services empowering women and transforming this energy in to tangible support and improvement for the life of others whom are less fortunate.”
