Fashion Meets Philanthropy at Fall Luxe Fashion Event

From Pediatric Cancer Foundation:

The Pediatric Cancer Foundation (PCF) celebrated its 46th year in style on October 6 at its annual fall event, Fashion Meets Philanthropy. The event, which recognized the Foundation’s donors, took place at The Westchester in collaboration with Harper’s BAZAAR. Avril Graham, Harper’s BAZAAR Executive Fashion & Beauty Editor, presented the fashion on the runway.

“Each year, we are honored to host this popular fall fashion event with the Pediatric Cancer Foundation and Harper’s BAZAAR,” said Paula Kelliher, Director of Marketing for The Westchester. “The exclusive event gives guests an inside look at the season’s top fashion matched with The Westchester’s world-class brands. Everyone who attended was treated with a fabulous afternoon of delicious bites and expert advice on top notch style!”

Fashion Meets Philanthropy brought more than 200 guests front and center at one of the most bespoke fashion events of the season. Guests of the event were treated to an inspired afternoon filled with the following elements: Cocktails, creative bites and small plates; a trend presentation by Harper's BAZAAR Executive Fashion and Beauty Editor Avril Graham; a live runway show featuring luxury brands including Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Anne Fontaine, LK Bennett and more.

Bonnie Shyer, President of the Pediatric Cancer Foundation, added: “The goal of all of our events is to help raise awareness and much needed funds to fight childhood cancers. More than 2,300 children (from birth to 21 years of age) will die each year from cancer, the causes of which are still unknown, and our funding helps critical research to attack this issue. We are thrilled to recognize our donors at this special afternoon of luxe fashion. It's our way of saying ‘thank you’ for the countless dollars donated and hours spent by this wonderful group of individuals dedicated to helping us battle pediatric cancer.”
