Designer Days Kicks-Off November 7th with “We’ve Come a Long Way Ladies” Patron Event Celebrating 120 Years of Service
Hosted by Fashion Designer Kiya Tomlin & Fashion Stylist Bear Brandegee
Pittsburgh, PA (October 10, 2012) — On Thursday, November 7, 2012, from 6-9 p.m. at the Monroeville Convention Center, National Council of Jewish Women Pittsburgh Section (NCJW) will kick off the43rd annual NCJW Designer Days sale with their annual Patron Event. This year’s theme, “We’ve Come a Long Way Ladies,” celebrates 120 years of NCJW’s service to the Pittsburgh community.
“Fashions change, but community service never goes out of style,” stated Andrea Kline Glickman, NCJW Pittsburgh Section Executive Director. “Over the last 120 years, NCJW has created programs and services to improve the quality of life for women, children and families. Our programs continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of our community.”
Proceeds from the Patron Event and the entire weekend will support NCJW’s efforts to make a difference in the lives of women, children and family through advocacy and many nonsectarian community service projects.
NCJW recently launched the Center for Women to ensure that women in the community are able to achieve and maintain economic independence and self-sufficiency. Center for Women programs and initiatives increase financial literacy, build career-related skills, connect women with mentorship and internship opportunities and provide referrals to additional support services.
Honorary Chair for the Patron Event is fashion designer Kiya Tomlin; Bear Brandegee, Patron Event Chair; and Henry Krakovsky serves as the Chair for the entire Designer Days.
