Bridgeport Village’s Ladies Who Brunch Returns Tickets for the popular event are now on sale

(Tigard, OR). Calling all fashionistas! For the third consecutive year, Bridgeport Village, Portland’s premier destination for shopping and entertainment will host “Ladies who Brunch”. The event will take place May 2, 2015 at 9:00am at Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar and will be a fundraiser for the Women of Meridian Park.

Tickets for this popular event are on sale now for $50 and include brunch, beverages, swag bags, a free photo booth, raffle prizes, a beauty bar, and fashion show. This year’s fashion show will feature must- have looks from trendy retailers. Another exciting event feature will be the return of Est Ovest Style owners Paula O’Neil and Tracy Pendergast. Paula and Tracy will share fashion insights about how to understand current trends, look fabulous and dress for individual body types.

The Ladies Who Brunch event is a powerful example of the relationship between Bridgeport Village and the community. The money raised at this event is used for important services, including breast cancer patient compassion bags and the Oncology Community Fund. “The Women of Meridian Park truly cares about the health of the women and children in the South Metro community,” said Cheryl Dotten, chair of the Women of Meridian Park. By raising funds for projects that benefit women and families at Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center, this group of women leaders is an integral part of the hospital’s continued growth and expansion of services.

“’I think I can take on a personal crisis today,’ is not something most women wake up thinking,” said Kimberly Blue, regional marketing director for Bridgeport Village. “Yet women are in crisis nationwide in areas of healthcare, domestic abuse, and finances. So what happens when you combine a caring shopping center, a women-centric community nonprofit organization, and successful local women who are eager to pay it forward? You get Ladies Who Brunch.”
