NCJW Spring Designer Days event to be held
April 24-27, 2014
NCJW showcases home
furnishings store, offers shoppers two exciting opportunities in 2014 to shop
discount designer labels and support NCJW initiatives
Pittsburgh, PA (April 9,
2014) — This spring,
National
Council of Jewish Women Pittsburgh Section (NCJW) will kick off an exciting new
sale for Designer Days shoppers. The first-ever Spring Designer Days shopping
event will be held April 24-27 at the NCJW Home Consignment Store, located at
1913 Monongahela Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15218 in Swissvale.
Additionally, NCJW’s
annual fall Designer Days event will be held November 6-9, also at the Home
Consignment Store.
“We’re thrilled to offer
our loyal customers an opportunity to shop Designer Days fashions twice a
year
for a great cause,” said Andrea Kline Glickman, NCJW Pittsburgh Section
Executive Director. “This will be a wonderful way for our shoppers to
incorporate shopping for eclectic, high-end home furnishings, as well as
designer clothing and accessories–adding to the excitement of the Designer Days
weekend.”
NCJW’s Designer Days
events support extensive programming and initiatives that benefit women,
children and families throughout the Greater Pittsburgh region. Proceeds from
this year’s Spring Designer Days event and the fall sale will directly support
NCJW initiatives and community service projects, including The Center for Women,
a joint initiative of NCJW and The Jewish Women’s Foundation. Launched in 2013,
The Center for Women works to ensure women in the community are able to achieve
and maintain economic independence and self-sufficiency. The Center for Women
provides programs and initiatives dedicated to helping women increase financial
literacy, build career-related skills, connect with mentorship and internship
opportunities and provide referrals to additional support services.
All year long, NCJW
collects designer labels as well as name brands and sells them at the Designer
Days shopping extravaganza, including: Armani, Michael Kors, Tahari, Escada,
Lafayette 148, Ralph Lauren, Moschino, Donna Degnan, Cole Haan and Stuart
Weitzman. Some of the fashion world’s best names are offered at a fraction of
the original cost at Designer Days. Shoppers can find new and gently-worn
clothing, shoes, handbags and jewelry for men, women and children.
In addition to
gently-used and new designer labels, NCJW’s Home Consignment Store location
offers a unique opportunity to shop eclectic home furnishings, and is located in
the same plaza as NCJW’s Thriftique store. Shoppers will receive coupons to all
of NCJW’s stores.
The shopping weekend will
kick off on Thursday, April 24 with the Spring Designer Days Preview Shopping
Party. Along with an opportunity to shop prior to the weekend public sale,
guests will enjoy food and desserts from many of Pittsburgh’s food
trucks.
Admission to the Spring
Designer Days Preview Shopping Party is $20 per person and can be paid at the
door. Shoppers who attend the Preview Party obtain first access to the best
merchandise.
Designer Days continues
on Friday the 25th with a preview sale from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. ($10
admission at the door, open to the public) and then a two-day free admission
public sale on April 26 and 27. Free parking is available throughout the entire
weekend.
Each year, more than
5,000 people —many of whom come year after year, and from out-of-state—are
invited to visit the annual Designer Days sale for great finds and great buys.

The National Council of
Jewish Women Pittsburgh Section (NCJW) is a grassroots organization of
volunteers and advocates who turn progressive ideals into action. Inspired by
Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life
for women, children, and families and by safeguarding individual rights and
freedoms. Since our founding in 1894, NCJW Pittsburgh Section has provided a
safety net for women, children and families in need, establishing pioneering
programs to meet unmet needs: the first free kindergartens and penny lunch
program, resettlement support for newly arriving refugees, the program that
would eventually become Headstart and so much more. We have rallied – and
continue to rally -- for reproductive choice the protection of women and
children from all forms of abuse and for laws, policies and practices that
improve the economic independence of women. Today, NCJW’s nonsectarian community
service projects include programs like the Center for Women that supports
economic independence of women in transition; Suit Yourself Voucher
Program which provides free business clothes to low-income individuals
re-entering the workforce, Children’s Rooms in the Courts which are a
safe, fun environment for young children while their parents/caregivers tend to
family court matters and Silent Witness Initiative that raises awareness
of domestic violence.
