This past week we attended a charity shopping event at Faconnable in New York City. Kelly Rutherford, from Gossip Girls, was the official host. She arrived wearing her favorite Faconnable shift dress. She was met by Hills star, Stephanie Pratt, and other celebrities who attended the evening’s shopping event.
The Urban Sanctuary celebrity shopping event at Faconnable was put together to support the Safe Horizon charity. A portion of the sales during this 3-day shopping event were given to Safe Horizons to support their efforts.
Safe Horizons is the nation’s leading victim assistance organization and it helps more than 250,000 that are affected by crime and abuse each year. Whether they are responding to child abuse, domestic violence, or other violent crimes, they help victims and their families heal and rebuild their lives.
Safe Horizons takes action by providing practical services like a new lock, 24-hour hotlines, safe shelter and food as well as supportive services like mental health counseling. They also raise awareness of issues of violence and abuse, its impact on the home, the workplace and in communities.
Guests at this event were asked to bring a toy. All toys were delivered to the children that Safe Horizon serves.
Get involved with Safe Horizons:
Donate money, time, and help get the word out.
Time is one of the most valuable donations you can make to help victims of violence. Every year, groups of coworkers, neighbors, students and friends volunteer with Safe Horizon. Tasks range from coordinating holiday toy drives for the children we serve to assembling the welcome kits to give to mothers who arrive at our shelters after fleeing homes plagued by violence.
Connect with Safe Horizons on Facebook, Twitter, and on their Website.
