At the farewell luncheon sponsored by La Casa Hermosa for Caitlin Brunell, Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2008, Ami Manning presented over 50 dresses on behalf of Paris, Nicky and Kathy Hilton to Brunell for Caitlin's Closet. Brunell started Caitlin's Closet to be able to provide girls with dresses for special occasions that could not otherwise afford them thus raising their self esteem.

The dresses were divided and many of the remaining dresses will be auctioned off by Robin Fleming and La Casa Hermosa to raise money for Caitlin's Closet and MAOT. Funds raised for Caitlin's Closet will go to purchase specific sizes that are in popular demand. We are pleased to announce that the on-line bidding will begin Oct. 1st!

Please visit http://stores.ebay.com/La-Casa-Outlet  to place your bids!
