"I truly believe that TIF is a deserving cause," said Susan Tigwell,
owner of Beth Mona Childrens Shoppe. "I thought including the children

something they've never done before. Hopefully, they will think it's
cool."

Tickets are $100 for adults, $35 for children and all proceeds will fund
The Immokalee Foundation's efforts to empower the youth of Immokalee
through education.

Since 1991, The Immokalee Foundation has been creating pathways to success
for Immokalee's children through a variety of programs that focus on
mentorship, after-school activities, college scholarships, the development
of vocational skills and incentives for educational growth. In 2009, The
Immokalee Foundation served 2,700 children through its seven core
programs.

Beth Mona Childrens Shoppe, located at 381 12th Avenue South in Olde
Naples, is Southwest Florida's oldest and most respected source for
children's fashions.

Preregistration is required. To receive additional information or reserve
a ticket, call The Immokalee Foundation at 239-430-9122 or visit
