Fashion to a Tea will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club, 4400 Lister St. in Port Charlotte.

Tickets are $40 per person and can be purchased online at VoicesForKids.org or by calling 941-613-3233. Sponsorship opportunities start at $500 and include event tickets, marketing and public recognition.

The Foundation also provides funds to purchase basic necessities, clothing, movie tickets and theme park tickets for children, as well as pay for tutoring and participation in youth sports and clubs.
