On April 29, over 200 attendees filled the Ramada Inn Convention Center for CrossRoads’ annual Denim Day dinner and fashion show. The event was primarily a fundraiser for CrossRoads Sexual Assault Response & Resource Center, with sponsors, raffles and on-site donations encouraged, but it also served to unite the Alamance area around sexual assault prevention.
