Noble Circle AWear Fashion Show Luncheon

David H. Ponitz Sinclair Center Dayton, OH

For most women, hearing the words “you’ve got cancer” can be devastating. But this is just the beginning of the life-altering experience that becomes her “new” normal. The cost of life-saving treatments, taking time off from work, and paying for other personal care expenses can be financially devastating as well.   This is why Noble Circle’s programs and services are provided at no cost to the women who join the organization.

Our annul AWear Affair Fashion Show & Luncheon makes it possible for women diagnosed with cancer to participate in the NewSister and Project Sisterhood programs without the financial burden of paying for these essential services.

AWear Affair is held each year, on the last Saturday in February. Beginning at 10:00 AM, guests can shop local and unique vendors, offering products ranging from jewelry, accessories and gourmet foods, to one-of-a-kind apparel and works of art. The luncheon, program, and fashion show —featuring Noble Circle sisters modeling the newest fashions — begins at noon.  Tickets are $50, purchase here. 

February 26 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
