Stylish looks were unleashed at Fashion to the Rescue. Hosted by Olivia Cohen outdoors at her gorgeous home, the fundraiser was sponsored by Charlotte Plastic Surgery. Proceeds benefitted the nonprofit Spay Neuter Charlotte, which provides high quality, low cost spay/neuter and animal wellness services to fulfill its mission of reducing the number of unwanted pets in the Charlotte area.
