By: Hope Wilkos, Writer/Blogger
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for one of the most fashionable events of the year.
It’s going to be another unforgettable ‘Boston Proper Affair’. This is the time for South Florida fashion to shine right in the heart of Palm Beach County. Favorite retailer, Boston Proper, will again collaborate with theAchievement Centers for Children & Families on May 2, 2013, to bring to you the 5th Annual Proper Affair Fashion Show in support of low-income children and families in the local community. This non-profit social services agency serves 750 children and 350 adults.
Five years ago, this began as a small luncheon and today it has grown to one of the top high-profile events in the county. It continues to gain momentum year after year. Last year the record was broken as 325 guests attended and $140,000 was raised to support the Achievement Centers for Children & Families.
Boston Proper is excited to bring you their finest fashions on the runway which will also be available via auction. For over 25 years, Boston Proper has been providing women with chic and sophisticated apparel and accessories to make them feel elegant, confident and all-over beautiful. The fashions can be purchased in Boca Raton at 6500 Park of Commerce Boulevard and online at their website.
The evening event features live entertainment, complimentary cocktails, succulent hors d’oeuvres, whimsical photo booths, a silent auction filled with unique packages and high-ticket raffle prizes including a luxurious paradise vacation in the enchanting Florida Keys.
ACCF’s CEO, Nancy K. Hurd says, “We are extremely grateful to Boston Proper for being such a loyal and supportive partner. The revenue raised through the Proper Affair goes directly to providing quality programs for those we serve and helps us continue to be an affordable option for our children’s parents. Without the support and partnership of Boston Proper, we would not be able to have the positive impact on our community that we do.”
Boston Proper President, Sheryl Clark beams, “My team is proud and passionate to outdo themselves, and we are so grateful to our sponsors for continuing to build awareness of and give hope to so many in our community. We look forward to this every year.”
Whether you are an individual or a corporation, you can do your part with a sponsorship which is available at varying levels, monetary contribution, donating goods or services to the silent auction, volunteering your time and simply by purchasing a ticket and attending.
This year it will all take place on Thursday, May 2, 2013, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the elite Broken Sound Country Club in Boca Raton. To learn more about this exciting event, go to www.properaffair.com or call the Achievement Centers Foundation at (561) 266-0003.
