Full description from organizer

Get ready to see the hottest trends at the TCL Fashion Show by Timothy Charles Lee, live and in person! TCL Fashion Show Timothy Charles Lee Date & Time: September 19, 2026 at 5:30 PM (Pacific Time) Venue: Club 1220 Get ready for an exciting fashion show featuring the latest fashion from local designers, stunning models, and dazzling drag performances! This event is a vibrant celebration of creativity and style you won’t want to miss! We call this event LIVING TIMMY's DREAM in honor of Timothy Charles Lee, a passionate fashion student whose family remembers him for his love of fashion. Timothy’s tragic story inspires us to fill the house with support and love. Who was Timothy "Timmy" Charles Lee. He was a beautiful, 23-year-old Black and Native American gay man. He was a fashion student in SF, on track to study in Milan, Italy. He was creative and deeply loved. On November 2, 1985, Timmy missed his BART stop and ended up stranded at the Concord BART. He was later found hanging from a nearby tree. Despite the fact that two men in KKK robes stabbed two other Black men in the local area that night, the police and FBI quickly ruled Timmy’s death a suicide! For over 40 years, his family fought for justice. In Timmy’s honor, we are holding a Commemorative Fashion Show. The purpose is to raise awareness about reopening the case as well as to celebrate his stolen dreams and the artistry he never got to finish, a career in fashion design. Please Note: Your ticket purchase covers event costs and admission. It is not tax-deductible and does not count as a 501(c)(3) donation. However, the fashion show proudly raises funds for the Rainbow Community Center Concord (a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit). Rainbow provides critical services and has supported us since our first Memorial Walk . We believe our beloved Timmy would have benefited deeply from their work. • Suggested Donation: $25 (no one turned away for lack of funds). • How to Donate: Full details on making a tax-deductible contribution to Rainbow Community Center, will be shared with you ahead of event and at event.
