["Hang On To The Dream"]
Fall Fashion Show 
to benefit the
"Hang On to the Dream Foundation"



 

held at the 
Henry Ford Estate

Wednesday November 17, 2004

Fashion Show Benefit Was A Great Success!

There was great food, great entertainment and great surprises at the "Hang On to the Dream Fall Fashion Show" held at the 56-room Henry Ford Estate in Dearborn, Michigan on November 17, 2004.  Young area models sported the latest fashions from Macy's, Limited Too, Kohl's, Caruso Caruso and Oi Lily, and guests were treated to entertainment by cellist  Carly Champion and violinist Emily Hudock, as well as dance performances by dancers from the Mary Skiba School of Dance.

 

 

One of the highlights of the evening was when one of the models, 17 year old Tyson Allen-Troup, who has undergone 121 operations due to a brain disorder, saw 2 of his biggest dreams come true due to the efforts of the Hang On to the Dream Foundation and its founder, Christopher Ewing. 

 


An ambush by bullies a year ago left Tyson with missing teeth.  Unable to afford to have them replaced, Christopher surprised Tyson with the news that Dr. Michael Reich of
Garden City, MI will replace his teeth free of charge. 

 

 

 

 



Tyson was also surprised when Christopher told him that his dream of attending Schoolcraft College's culinary arts program was going to be a reality when the school's director personally presented Tyson with his own monogrammed chef's uniform and a scholarship to one of the school's programs.  
 
Portions of the surprise were aired "Live" on television from the estate.  "Click" below to view the news story.
