The Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation’s Marrow Match Gala will celebrate and raise funds for the Foundation’s goal to help people find their life-saving match by having 11,000 new bone marrow match kits processed and entered into the bone marrow registry. We met the elegant Bernadette Catrabone, wife, mother of three, and bone marrow transplant recipient, during Fashion Week this fall when we both walked in Strut: The Fashionable Mom Show. Her story and courage touched our hearts. Host Kelly Rutherford of “Gossip Girl”, Chair Jessica Abo of NY1 News, and Event Co-Chairs Christina Coleman, Brooke Eger, Daniel Kraus, Eli Lunzer, Frank Pulice, Matt Schechter, Sarri Singer, and Alyson Winston have put together a glamorous evening Sunday, November 18 at 6:00pm at The Liberty Theater with a VIP Reception, Dinner, Award Ceremony, Dessert and Dancing all to honor, Ayelet Galena, Dylan Rabinovich, Ezra Jordan Fineman, and Jill Hollander for their important work. For more information or to purchase tickets, please go to Marrow Match Gala.
For what to wear to a glamorous Black Tie Event, we are offering a choice of long or short dresses from SAKS.com. As we begin the holiday season, we are turning up the heat with these two scorchingly stylish selections. A sculptural silver ruffle crowns the elegant, floor-length silhouette of the Carmen Marc Valvo gown, and in the Notte by Marchesa, panels of dazzling sequins decorate the strapless, form-fitting style. Both are exquisite options in cool metallic, and we kept the sparkling theme going in the jewelry, shoes, and bags. Two twinkling options for an elegant evening in black tie.
