"We raised over $3,200 for the ROH,
Thank you for your support."
On October 28, 2017 Judy Joannou celebrated 25 years in business with a Gala Fashion Show to raise funds for Youth Services at the Royal Ottawa Hospital for Mental Health. The show treated guests to a glimpse of Joannou's prolific design career since 1992 to the present.
