Vermont Business Magazine Special thanks to the more than 250 members of the central Vermont community who gathered in October at National Life in Montpelier for the 16th Annual Seasons of Life Fashion Show. Guests included donors, staff and members of the board and community, as well as generous sponsors. With your support, CVHHH raised approximately $40,000 (net) to support our programs and services to those individuals who are underinsured or have no health insurance. “I am proud of the individuals on the fashion show committee and the effort the team made to pull off another successful year,” says Kim Farnum, CVHHH’s Community Relations & Development manager. “With a new committee and rebranding to further incorporate the depth of services that we provide, we were able to raise $40,000, the same amount that was raised during this event’s largest year.”

“Seasons of Life reflects the true breadth and depth of services that CVHHH provides for central Vermonters of all ages, from moms and newborns, to healthy, active adults needing post-surgery rehabilitation, to families seeking hospice for a loved one,” says CEO Sandy Rousse.
Lisa Ventriss, President of the Vermont Business Roundtable, attended as the emcee and was joined by guest auctioneer Rusty Dewees, who returned for a third year to auction off an assortment of packages donated by local businesses. The fashion show featured couture donated by 22 local vendors modeled by 44 volunteers from the community aged 2 to 91. Entertainment was provided by Green Mountain Performing Arts and dinner was catered by the New England Culinary Institute.
