The Fund for Women presented its 13th annual fashion show and luncheon Nov. 3, at Rehoboth Beach Country Club. 

Fashions by community stores and boutiques in the area were on display, modeled by local ladies who showed off the beautiful outfits for all in attendance. 

The Fund for Women founder and board member Sarah Gilmour said the event was a huge success. 

She said 11 attendees signed up as founders, who help support grants awarded to nonprofits that help Delaware women and girls.

The Fund for Women invests and advocates to empower women and girls in Delaware to achieve their potential by bringing together knowledge and passion. 

Nearly $250,000 has been awarded to 18 nonprofits this year.
