Jhobany Tortolero of Laveen, a senior at Brophy Preparatory College, represented his class in Brophy's annual fashion show produced in conjunction with Neiman Marcus, Akris and hosted at the Camelback Inn on Oct 22.

Every fall for over 20 years, Brophy College Preparatory's Mothers' Guild has planned the fashion show featuring popular designers providing an afternoon of fun and raising money for financial aid.

Brophy's president, Father Eddie Reese, said: "This show is a tradition that the entire community looks forward to as it brings us all together one time a year. Current parents, former parents, grandmothers, sisters and aunties look forward to having lunch and visiting with each other from the Brophy community.

"The Brophy Mothers' Guild and our Dads' Club are the volunteer lifeblood of our community and the proceeds of this show have always supported Brophy's financial-aid fund with proceeds going to students who qualify for financial aid based solely on need."

In the past, the Mothers' Guild has raised about $250,000 in one afternoon. The financial-aid budget of $2.25 million is put to great use by students every year, Reese said.
