SEU Link Program to hold Fashioned Show Fundraiser

Southeastern University’s (SEU) post-secondary transitional program for young adult students with mild intellectual disabilities, SEU Link, will be hosting a fashion show fundraiser, “SEU on the Runway.” The event will feature the designs of Link program alumna Aarushi Pratap and will be held on Saturday, April 20, at 6 p.m. in the Welcome Center’s Lake Bonny Room on SEU’s main campus in Lakeland.

 

SEU on the Runway will include members of the university’s community modeling a new line of Pratap’s one-of-a-kind clothing designs, inspired by her faith journey and experiences as a student at SEU. 

 

General admission for the event is $50 per person and $125 for VIP seating. Doors will open at 6 p.m. for mingling, and hors d’oeuvres will be served. The show will begin at 6:45 p.m.

 

All proceeds from the event will go directly toward the SEU Link program to support its expansion, sustainability and future initiatives. The goal of the program is to prepare students for the transition from high school to adulthood by increasing independence and employability. 

 

Pratap graduated from the Link program in 2022 and is a fashion designer known for her unique and whimsical prints that blend contemporary style with vintage concepts. Pratap’s designs have been featured in shows such as Tampa Bay Fashion Week. In addition, she contributed to the logo design for the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games. Pratap has been designing and crafting clothes since she was 13 years old.
