She will be joined by emcee Suzanne Spencer, WSBT-TV reporter. Celebrity models Matt Rudkin, WSBT-TV meteorologist, and Teri Armstrong, Willie 103.5’s news director and morning co-host, will showcase Goodwill fashion on the runway. “Last year we assisted over 7,000 people in their search for employment and placed over 950 individuals in jobs with local employers. Yet, there is so much more that we could do and need to do. So, we invite our friends to attend specialty events like this one, because in doing so they help us change lives in our community,” said Debie Coble, president and CEO.
