Fun, fresh and feminine fashion. That's what will be on show at the Pimms and Pretty charity fashion show for Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre Wildlife Trust next week.

Organised by Bettie Monroe and Papamoa woman Jules Bly, the fashion fundraiser is at the Mount Maunganui Mercedes showroom on October 16.

Bringing fashion and furry friends together, avid animal lover Jules says the purpose of the event is to raise funds for ARRC after she spent days at Holistic Vets with her 'very sick” cat.

'I spent my days and weekends there and got to see the work that ARRC does and the dedication these girls have to helping the wildlife.

'I felt like I needed to give back something for all their effort.”

Jules says there are some amazing raffles and spot prizes – donated by Tauranga businesses – to give away, including coffee and hairdressing vouchers plus wine packs and flowers.

Event-goers also have the chance to bid on one of four auctions including a weekend away in a six or four-person apartment in Whitianga and pool passes to the Lost Spring, plus more.

ARCC founder Dr LizaSchneider is very excited, humbled and deeply touched by the community's willingness to help the Wildlife Trust.

She says funds raised will go towards operations and the community cat project taking un-owned cats off Tauranga streets, as well as ARRC's children education project.

The Pimms and Pretty fashion fundraiser is at Mercedes showroom on October 16 from 5.30pm. Tickets cost $35 and are available from Bettie Monroe on Maunganui Rd or Holistic Vets on Fraser St.

Guests receive a complimentary Pimms drink and a gift bag on departure.

The Weekend Sun has two tickets to give away to lucky readers who can tell us what the fashion show is fundraising for.
