Ave Maria University's annual Spring Style Show and Luncheon fundraiser drew almost 300 women (and a few husbands as well) from Naples, Ave Maria and elsewhere in Southwest Florida Wednesday.

The event, which begain in 2009, has proven to be one of the more popular fundraising events on the campus. Proceeds support scholarships for AMU students.

As in previous years, ladies got to spend time shopping for clothes and jewelry before having lunch and watching a show of fashions for women and children, modeled by university students, Ave Maria town residents and friends of the university.
