Thursday night celebrities and "philebrities" packed the Union League of Philadelphia for the Second Annual Celebrity Fashion Show hosted by the Shane Victorino Foundation. Accompanied by friends, models, wives, and girlfriends, members of the Philadelphia Phillies strutted their stuff on the runway. Bernard Hopkins walked the runway like a pro, Hunter Pence and Kyle Nakazawa went topless, and the styling was incredible. Wearing the looks of designers like Aidan Mattox, Alice + Olivia, Yigal Azrouel, Louis Vuittone, Nicole Miller, and more, the models put on quite the show.
Celebrities who walked the runway included Antonio Bastardo, Krystle Campbell, Frankie Edgar, Cindy & Ben Francisco, Cole Hamels, Bernard Hopkins, Ryan Howard, Kyle Kendrick, Billy & Melanie King, John Mayberry, Jr., Jamie & Karen Moyer, Hunter Pence, Kyle Nakazawa, Jimmy & Johari Rollins, Brian Schneider, Michael Stutes, Chase Utley, and Shane & Melissa Victorino.
In 2010 Shane and Melissa Victorino founded the Shane Victorino Foundation (SVF), a nonprofit that is dedicated to promoting opportunities for underserved youth in Philadelphia and Hawaii. The organization’s major endeavor in Philadelphia is the renovation of the Nicetown Boys & Girls Club, in which the nonprofit pledged nearly $1 million to renovate the 105-year building. Upon reopening next month, the club will be renamed the "Shane Victorino Nicetown Boys & Girls Club," making it one of only two clubs named in honor of an MLB player.
Presenting sponsors for the event were Saks Fifth Avenue and Caesars Atlantic City. Other major sponsors included Abbie Friedman Family Foundation, Tube Methods, LAGOS, D&J Electronics, www.EmergenSeeApp.com, OfficeMax, Moet & Chandon, Loews Hotel of Philadelphia and Winner Ford.
