IN FASHION!
The ninth annual “In Fashion!” luncheon and fashion show featured ADAM and his Fall/Winter 2011 Collection. It took place at Gulph Mills Golf Club on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 and for the third consecutive year, all the models were cancer survivors. CSCP member Ginny Goldberg shared her story of cancer survival, featured designer Adam Lippes spoke about his Collection and his connection to CSCP’s mission (he lost his mother to cancer), and event co-chairs June Smith, Mary Smith, and CSCP board member Tisa Baena made sure the event ran smoothly and successfully. Ten models proudly displayed the ADAM collection as an audience of over 180 enjoyed lunch and the show. The day also included a silent auction and a pop-up shop by ADAM, that benefited CSCP.
Cocktails and “Eating for Wellness” with breast cancer survivor Debra Somers Copit, MD occurred the evening before at the home of Hank and June Smith; another 45 plus people attended that event. Approximately $40,000 was raised by these events, thanks to the hard work of the “In Fashion!” committee and the generosity of Adam Lippes. Over the last nine “In Fashion!” luncheons, over $420,000 has been raised to support people impacted by cancer at CSCP.
