All Aboard Fashion Foundation Inc.
The All Aboard Fashion Foundation Inc., a South
Carolina based non-profit corporation, was born out of the
idea that through fashion, we can change and improve the
communities around us. We can give aspiring talents in
the fashion community a platform to showcase their skills,
while giving monetary aid to non-profit organizations that
are actively working to improve our beloved capital city
and state.
Because fashion is a unifying force, we're taking full
advantage of the appeal of the fashion industry to gather
the masses for a our worthy cause. We look forward to
growing and expanding our passion throughout the
southeast region of the United States and beyond.

Greetings!
What can I say? When my fiance and I
first started this journey two years ago, I
never thought we'd be here. What started
as a purposely small and intimate event
to promote our annual cruise, has now
grown into its own sort of being--growing
and evolving every day. Though our
journey has not been easy, every difficult
or challenging experience has allowed me
to learn and grow, and has molded me
into a greater leader and visionary.
There are many things to be proud of
about this event, but what I'm most
excited about is the launch of the All
Aboard Fashion Foundation. We strongly
believe that fashion can serve a greater
purpose, and our purpose will be to give
back to the communities of which we are
a part. While hosting and producing
wonderful fashion events, like the AAF
Model & Stylist Competition, we will keep
in focus our purpose of serving the
community, and we will use this focus as
our fuel in producing events of which our
clients and community can be proud.
I'd like to personally thank my team of
directors and coordinators. Without you,
I'd be lost in my own ambitions. I also
want to acknowledge my crew of
volunteers. Without your servitude, this
event would not be possible.
Here's to an amazing show!
From the happiest woman on the planet,
Carissa L. Strickland

wants you share!

Trekking alone? Why not travel on a
buddy pass? If you’ve got a friend that
works for an airline, a buddy pass can save
you plenty on your flight, this means more
money to spend at that really cute street
market!
