League to Save Lake Tahoe
55th Annual Fashion Show

Barbara Brown's love affair with Lake Tahoe began the first time she saw its beautiful blue water. She was moved to purchase a home on the West Shore which provided unforgettable memories for her three daughters and seven grandchildren. During her years spent at Lake Tahoe, Barbara was a member of the Tahoe Lakefront Homeowners Association and the Tahoe Yacht Club, supporting the annual boat show and activities involving the iconic wooden boats of the Lake.

Barbara is a Founding Member of PARCA in San Mateo County, supporting families with special needs children. She served on the Board for the Institute for Health & Healing and served on the CPMC Women's Board for 30 years. Her love of fashion and the ODLR brand brought her to the Annual Fashion Show, where she has served as a prolific ambassador and fundraiser for the League to Save Lake Tahoe for 17 years.

For Heidi Cary Lake Tahoe has been a majestic and magical place since she was a child. Growing up, she would stay in a small wooden lake-side cabin on her family’s property called Wychwood, now Chinquapin. Her great-grandfather Robert Dollar had purchased the property in 1926 after having been taken by the beauty and grandeur of the lake.

Heidi’s appreciation of and connection to Lake Tahoe is deep and long-lasting. She is committed to seeing Tahoe thrive now and into the future. This is one of the reasons she is a member of the League’s Fashion Show Committee. Heidi and her extended family always look forward to the acclaimed Annual Oscar de la Renta event. Heidi is impressed by the League’s widening efforts with the new, soon to be open Environment & Education Center.

Heidi is Chair of the Diana Dollar Knowles Foundation and is also honored to work on a number of Committees and Boards which include Grace Cathedral and San Domenico School.

Jessica Hickingbotham’s love for Lake Tahoe began early. Her grandparents and parents took a place every summer near Camp Richardson. She spent her childhood on the Lake, learning to water ski, taking picnics on the East Shore and sailing. She found the perfect match in her spouse, J., who’s family has a long history at Lake Tahoe. J’s grandmother, Diana Dollar Knowles, was one of the original founders of the League Fashion Show. When Jessica joined the family, J’s grandmother encouraged her to get involved in the League. Jessica has been a part of the fashion show since, working on the committee for 9 years.

Jessica grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, graduated from UC Davis and spent more than a decade working in marketing and advertising. She currently lives in Menlo Park where she is raising two children with her husband. She is active in Bay Area philanthropy and sits on the Board of Directors for Achieve Tahoe (formerly Disabled Sports USA). She and her family still spend time at Tahoe, skiing at Palisades in the winter and visiting Tahoe as often as possible every summer.
