Goodwill Southwest Florida invites the community to attend the fourth annual Pathways to Opportunity Vice & Vogue Fashion Show on Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026, at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center in downtown Fort Myers. The event begins at 5 p.m.

This year’s theme, Royal Flush Casino Night, will bring an evening of fashion, creativity and entertainment inspired by the glamour and excitement of a casino experience. Guests are encouraged to dress in their finest attire and enjoy a night that supports a meaningful cause.

The annual fundraiser features participant-styled fashions modeled by local community leaders and volunteers. Proceeds benefit Pathways to Opportunity (PTO), a Goodwill Southwest Florida program that provides life skills training, wellness activities and creative opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Southwest Florida.

“Pathways to Opportunity isn’t just a program; it’s a transformative journey of life skill development,” said Jessica Tursi, director of disability services and navigation for Goodwill Southwest Florida. “Our group classes are tailored to each participant’s unique needs and interests and provide engaging opportunities for learning, growth and community connection. Our mission is to empower participants to lead fulfilling, independent lives.”
