Perth Town Councillor Anne McRae is turning heads in a global competition tied to the Elton John AIDS Foundation — and she’s doing it with purpose.
McRae says she decided why not go for it and showcase local fashion and Perth to the world?
If she wins first place, McRae plans to donate her $20,000 prize.
McRae is currently sitting second in her group in the “Style Icon” contest, which celebrates individual flair while raising funds for a good cause.
She hopes to use the attention to “Elevate Perth,” promoting the town as Eastern Ontario’s bridal and fashion capital.
A longtime supporter of the Table Community Food Centre, McRae says the contest is also an opportunity to boost local shops and designers during the holiday season.
Voting is free, with bonus votes available for small donations. Supporters can vote for her online here until December 1st.
