Palm Valley has been given the opportunity to allow 6 children/teens to strut the runway alongside adoptable pooches thanks to a special designer accommodating both adult and children fashion. This year, we are looking for 6 children and teens to participate on the runway with a $2500 sponsorship per child (which includes best available seating for one family member and access to the VIP reception).
