PTA Pop-Up: Lenox Hill School Raises Funds With Designer Threads

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — A local school is hosting a pop-up to raise money for its parent teacher association where neighbors could be lucky and snag a designer deal.

The shop at 340 East 64th St., on the corner of First Avenue, is hosted by the Elenor Roosevelt High School PTA and has become a bit of an annual tradition for the school's parents.

In addition to asking each other for donations and putting out boxes for clothing at school, they also reach out directly to designers for any extra clothing stock they might have to donate.

On their racks include items from Helmut Lang, Valentino, Prada, Theory, Everlane and more.

Last year, the shop made around $20,000, says parent Michele Samarel, the PTA co-president.

The pop-up shop is open until June 16th from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m., and Sundays from noon until 6 p.m.
