Pocono Health Foundation is sponsoring a Fashion for a Cause event Oct. 30 in collaboration with Pocono Medical Center's Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner program and Women's Resources of Monroe County to raise the necessary funds for a Secure Digital Forensic Imaging camera.

PMC's SAFE program serves people who are victims of sexual assault. The team comprises health professionals who are trained to help ensure that victims of sexual assault are provided with competent, compassionate and prompt care, while providing the most advanced technology associated with DNA and other sexual assault forensic evidence collection and preservation.Along with community partners, Women's Resources of Monroe County and law enforcement, PMC supports the recovery and prevention of further injury or illness to these people.In PMC's ongoing goal of providing the most advanced technology for the program, they have identified the need for an SDFI camera, which reduces patient examination time by 50 percent and provides image resolution that is significantly enhanced. These improvements can make certain that the examination process continues to be of the highest quality. The camera, while very much needed, is costly.The event will be held from 5:30-8 p.m. Oct. 30 at The Lodge at Mountain Spring Lake Resort in Reeders. The evening will feature fall holiday fashions provided by The Apple Tree, a Stroudsburg's women's boutique. Reservations are required by Oct. 24 and the cost is $60 per person with 40 percent of the ticket proceeds going directly to the purchase of the SDFI camera.Attendees will receive hors d'oeuvres, coffee, dessert, complimentary designer gift bags, as well as a Joseph Ribkoff pop-up boutique.For more information on the event, RSVP info and ticket purchase, please visit
