Project Funway Designers : Events : Fresh Start Home

Fresh Start invites designers from the community to participate in the 15th annual
Project Funway benefit on November 7, 2025.

Are you creative? Do you have what it takes to win? Community members are invited to participate in this unique event. The theme is transformation and designers repurpose thrift shop clothing to create a new, creative, original garment. All of the garments will be featured in a runway show during the event. A panel of judges, and event attendees, will select the winners of the competition. All ages are welcome to participate.

Designers and models need to arrive at the Cornhusker Marriott Hotel by 5:00pm to check-in.
