Survivors raise money for breast cancer

Burlington, Vermont - September 13, 2011

Breast cancer survivors raised nearly $15,000 to fight the disease by strutting their stuff.

They walked the stage during a fashion show at Leunig's Monday.

The 20 models wore clothes donated from local stores and their hair and makeup was done by a local salon.

All proceeds from the fashion show went to the Breast Cancer Center at Fletcher Allen and the Vermont Cancer Center Network.
