Blooming Bravely
Join us July 18th, 2026 at 11 a.m. at 370 Lakeside Park in Missouri for Blooming Bravely. This fashion show is curated by a group of women who want to change the world through legislation, advocacy, and improving access to resources. Caroline Frank, the owner of Sage Limón, is working with an amazing team in partnership with the St. Charles Farmers Market, Reach, and Turning Point to raise funds for the community, including survivors of sexual, domestic, and intimate partner violence. She is working closely with Cat Clayton, who is running for Congress, and Lisa and Stacey from Reach. Representative Elizabeth Fuchs will also speak at the event. Caroline Frank is also a survivor who will be modeling in the fashion show and popping up at the event with a preorder booth for her children's book about consent, The Dog and the Flower. In addition to the team members mentioned below, I'd also like to recognize all of the other survivors helping put this show together.
