Fashion Forward Awards
A significant portion of our fundraising comes from the annual Fashion Forward Awards event, typically held in the spring.
Our first annual Fashion Forward Awards event took place in May 2023 where we honored Jen Foyle; President, Executive Creative Director, AE + Aerie and Michele Parsons, Brand Builder/Consultant.
Our second annual Fashion Forward Awards event took place in May 2024. We honored Elizabeth S. Marcuse, LIM College President Emeritus and Todd Snyder, Founder and CEO of Todd Snyder. Jim Moore from GQ presented the award to Todd Snyder.
These events generally have 100+ guests for a reception where awards are presented, hors d'oeuvres and cocktails are served, and a silent auction is held.
Our 3rd Annual Fashion Forward Awards event will be held in the spring of 2025. Stay tuned for details.
