“We were all put on this earth for a reason and I want to believe that God has great plans for me in
making a difference in other people’s lives. I never believed in profiting off of other people but bette r yet
giving back in every way that I can. There is nothing else more fulfilling than that in life and I hope to
become a great example to our son Eddie and leave a mark in life,” Franco said.
This extraordinary event will feature two ticket options for attendees. One is a general admission ticket,
which will allow viewers to get a sneak peek into Loren Franco’s 2015 children’s collection modeled by
Wish Kids as well as her debut of her never before seen women’s collection. Guests also have the option
to purchase a VIP ticket and receive the royal treatment. VIP admission will include a Red Carpet
experience, vodka sampling, and complimentary appetizers with a cash bar. The experience doesn’t stop
there though; attendees will also receive swag bags, an opportunity to visit various vendors and reserved
seating at the show. To gain access to this experience, tickets can be purchased online at
