UPDATE: Thank you to Sari of Lux Couture for her generous donation- a designer bag for auction- she is our first HERO!
Start your New Year right and help others in need! I was recently asked to join the committee of the Heroes and Handbags Luncheon benefiting Heroes for Children, a nonprofit organization providing direct financial and social assistance to families, within the state of Texas, with children (0-22 yrs of age) battling cancer. The founder, Larissa Linton, lost her beautiful four year old daughter Taylor to cancer and created the fund to support, give comfort and ease the burden for parents coping with the challenges of caring for children with cancer. In addition, the fund seeks to educate and raise awareness about all forms of childhood cancer, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which was the cancer that affected Taylor.
This is an amazing organization, many families of children with cancer can not afford to maintain their monthly bills while their child is undergoing treatment. Some have to take a leave of absence from work in order to care for their child and some may lose their jobs permanently. Heroes for Children provides direct financial support to these families so they can focus on their children! So you want to know how YOU can be a hero? There are many ways to be involved~
1. Donate directly
2. Donate New or Vintage Designer Handbags for the Auction
3. Volunteer!
I challenge all of you to be Heroes! All readers who donate cash or designer bags for the auction will be featured on Bag Snob with a link to a website of your choice. All Bag designers who donate bags will also receive extensive editorials on the site leading up to the event on April 4th.
If you live in North Texas, you can buy a ticket (or a table) to the luncheon on April 4th at the Hilton Anatole hotel. I will be at the luncheon, there will be hundreds of designer handbags on auction, you can not miss the most fun charity luncheon of the year! Call Christi Disch to find out how to buy a ticket or sponsor a dutch treat table (get your girlfriends and come eat, drink and shop!). Tel: 214-256-5824 x 4
Thank you!
this is so sweet. I will forward this to my friends.
