The Cause for Paws Fashion Show and Luncheon is one of Nashville Humane Association’s four annual fundraising events. The event this year was held at the Belle Meade Country Club, and guests enjoyed a spring fashion show, a delicious arugula salad for lunch, and a silent auction with fantastic items (not to mention cocktails from Ketel One Botanical). This was the first show in 31 years that the event included male models (and they did a great job, along with the ladies!). Rebecca Burcham was recognized for her lifetime dedication and commitment to homeless animals with the Julia Colton Award. Click through the gallery below for a recap of the event!
