Avon Walk for Breast Cancer: Artificial Flavor Donates Fabric for a Great Cause
We recently decided to clean out our messy sample room because it had reached a point of no return: stacks of samples, boxes of last season’s stock, and loads of junk that just needed to be taken to the dump. But in the back, we noticed that we had tons of new fabric just collecting dust that we would never end up using, so we figured that someone else could make better use of the countless bolts of cotton jersey and french terry we were stockpiling.
We were lucky enough to meet up with Nazarena Sadati, who is spearheading her own effort in the quest to eradicate breast cancer. She is organizing her own fundraiser in partnership with the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, with a goal of $5,000 that she is close to hitting. She is using our fabric to create scarves with inspirational quotes on them to promote the 39 mile walk, which is scheduled for July 12 and 13 here in San Francisco. She is also throwing a benefit party at Sugar Lounge Coffee Bar at 679 Sutter (between Mason and Taylor) on June 28th from 8PM-2AM… be sure to stop by for a good time while supporting a great cause.
In the meantime, please be sure to visit Nazarena’s site, and if you choose to make a small donation, even better!
