Tap the Potential Fashion Show On Friday, October 21, Goodwill’s Day Services program, in cooperation with the Milwaukee County Office for Persons with Disabilities, hosted the second annual "Tap the Potential Fashion Show." It was held at our Community Opportunities Club North located in Wauwatosa.

The fashion show was a unique opportunity to showcase the abilities of those with disabilities in our metro Milwaukee community. Several agencies participated in this year’s show, including Goodwill, Curative, Easter Seals and Adult Day Services of Southeast Wisconsin.

Participants create their own original costumes at the Tap the Potential fashion showThe fashion show featured 52 models showcasing this year’s theme – Dynamic Duos. The duos were chosen by participants and featured quite a variety – even peanut butter and jelly made a surprise appearance! From well-known celebrity couples such as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, to comic book characters Spiderman and Mary Jane, our models really dazzled the audience. Our participants, with the help of staff, created their costumes using items purchased from Goodwill.
