FashionScape 2004 - A Benefit Fund Raising Event To Help Close The Doors On Teenage Prostitution

The prevalence of teenage prostitution in the San Francisco Bay Area is alarming and has created an urgent need for the community to take decisive action. FashionScape 2004 was designed to bring attention to this devastating social injustice and to put arms around these young girls who are being harmed daily. On May 29, 2004, FashionScape's 2004, fashion flair event, will raise funds to assist three key organizations who have directed their focus and attention to seek answers and solutions to these young girls caught up in this dangerous life of teenage prostitution.
