Just in time for National Cancer Research Month, the event will celebrate Bloomingdale’s New View Collection and feature a special panel discussion. Bloomingdale’s will donate 10% of all sales from the event to CBCF.
“These events are an exciting way to kick off our schedule of fundraising efforts that focus on today’s popular fashion trends and styles,” says Andrew Abramson, Treasurer and Co-Founder of CBCF. “The fashion shows and shopping events play an important role in our entire campaign to raise funds and support Dr. Norton’s work and we’re incredibly grateful prominent industry names, such as Emily & Ashley and Bloomingdale’s, continue to participate.”
CBCF hosts a number of fundraising events and informative seminars throughout the New York metropolitan area and is aggressively expanding its outreach throughout the United States and beyond.
