We may have been gone for a year but our dedication to this event has not faded. What started as a fun little fundraising activity has turned into a marquee social and fundraising event in Raleigh, raising nearly $50,000 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Each show consists of a wine tasting, fashion show showcasing the new season collection from Banana Republic and a silent auction of goods and services from some of the area's most premier vendors.
Every season we try to add a little twist to keep things interesting, but the formula largely stays the same. Enjoy some food and wine, enjoy some fashion, and help a good cause.
Keep checking for more details on this season's collection and the show. You don't want to miss out on this event!
It was in May of 2008 that Kendra Leonard, the Customer Experience Manager at Crabtree, was informed that her husband was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) with a blast crisis. After a long and valiantly fought battle, unfortunately we lost Miguel.
In his memory we continue to fight. The intent behind the show is to not only raise money for the foundation, but to also inform others about the disease. In fact, all of the donations go towards research to find a cure for this terrible affliction. By working together we can all be what's possible...
Keep checking as we get closer to the show date for details on the silent auction.
