In 2005, the JCCC Foundation held Captivating Bridal Images, two wedding fashion events that included the Paula Varsalona Heart of America Wedding Dress Sale.

The events raised money for scholarships awarded by the Foundation and The Fashion Group International.

Varsalona, a New York wedding dress designer from Kansas City, Mo., donated the gowns to the college.

Many of them remain available for purchase.

All proceeds from sales, with the exception of sales tax, go to scholarships.

The collection dates from 1978 to the mid-1980s, and the vintage dresses have never been worn except on the fashion runway.
