The Foundation is Heading to Cold Spring Harbor High School!

Friday, April 24^th at 7pm, The Fashion Foundation is headed back to school to attend Cold Spring Harbor High’s spring fashion show! The stage is set for a memorable night, as students of Ms. Bailey Whitney’s fashion class will host this special event in front of the entire school! Not only will the students be displaying fashion items that they made themselves, they'll also have student performances, and an auction of donated items to raise funds.  We will have a table and bins set up during the event so that we can give info and collect clothing donations to post for sale on our website. $10 tickets will be on sale for public purchase the week of the event, so you don’t want to miss it!

We could not post this announcment without sincerely thanking Ms. Whitney and her incredibly thoughtful students. The class was looking for charities to donate the proceeds from their upcoming show and had heard about the Foundation by Google searching Long Island charities. Inspired by our mission and impressed with our website, they told Ms. Whitney that they wanted the money they raised to go to the children that need it the most. Our founder Amanda was fortunate enough to meet these young ladies that have worked so hard to organize the show. The students’ enthusiasm, generosity, and desire to partner with us to make an impact, inspired Amanda beyond words that she provided the class with free t-shirts and Fashion Foundation backpacks as a thank you.

Once again, we here at the Fashion Foundation want to thank Ms. Whitney, her fashion students, and Cold Spring Harbor High School for randomly choosing us to be a part of this wonderful event. As a quick reminder, with the warm weather rolling in, we encourage you to search for clothing that may no longer have a place in your wardrobe. We will sell it to the people who will put the items to good use. In return, we will use the money we raise to purchase school supplies for the underprivileged students who need our help the most.

Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. You can always visit our website at www.thefashionfoundation.org or stop by this blog post site for the latest news and updates. Happy April to everyone, we will see you in a couple of weeks!
