Saint Agnes Women’s Club raises thousands for underserved women

The Cirque de Fashion Show sponsored by the Saint Agnes Women's Club raised nearly $60,000 for homeless and underserved women for its annual event on Oct. 24.

The event held at Fresno’s downtown convention center was filled with local retailers, circus acts and live auctions.

Proceeds will benefit the Saint Agnes Holy Cross Center for Women, which provides daytime shelter, counseling and referral services, educational facilities and facilities for bathing and for washing clothes. Each day, the center welcomes an average of 140 women and 20 children.
