Madison Reading Project’s recent fundraiser, Read(y) to Wear 2025, has been marked as a major success. The event took place on June 11 and was attended by over 420 people. It featured an evening of Legends and Fairytales with 13 unique wearable paper fashions. Eleven design teams competed for top honors.
The first prize was awarded to “Phenomenal Woman,” designed by Suzanne Sawyer in collaboration with the clothing brand Ashro. “Enchanted Forest,” created by returning designer Laura Musecamp, secured second place. “Paper Dolls,” designed by Pam Kilian, also a returning designer, took third place.
Stephanie Grenzer, community giving manager at Summit Credit Union, expressed her enthusiasm about the event: “What an incredible evening,” she said. “From the moment you walked in, the energy was high, the venue was beautiful, the attendees were excited, and the designers and models did a phenomenal job. It was so great to see the community come together and support Madison Reading Project.”
Summit Credit Union served as this year’s marquee sponsor along with several other local organizations that supported the annual fundraising event.
