If you’re anything like us in the Change for Kids office, then you’re a sucker for good deals. And on Tuesday, May 1st, there were plenty to be found at CFK’s Spring Shopping Soirée. We shopped ’til we dropped (guilt-free!), knowing that a portion of the proceeds went to benefit our partner elementary schools.

The Shop for Kids event featured fine jewels and lace from two of the city’s most fashionable ladies. Alexis Chasman, Stylist Extraordinaire, brightened up our wardrobes with affordable, exciting jewelry; while Margaret Shrum, NYC Lingerie Expert, spotlighted items from several up-and-coming Manhattan lingerie designers.

Joining the women last minute were Douglas and Kenneth Forbes (sons of CFK Chairman and Board Member, Chris and Louise Forbes), who outfitted us with the latest colors in CFK Change Bracelets. When Kenneth learned about the event from his mother morning-of, his first thought was: “Well, I like CFK. Why can’t I come?” So he grabbed his older brother, Douglas, and set up shop, raising $110 over the course of the night.

Check out the photos below to see more from the event. A big thank you to Alexis, Margaret, Douglas and Kenneth for helping to make our Spring Shopping Soirée a success! Missed out on this event? Well don’t let it happen again, ha – sign up to stay in touch.

Is there anything more attractive than a man in a tux?

Well, actually, yes. That would be a man in a tux who just scored $100 for a children’s charity.

Even if you weren’t able to sneak into the Penguin Party this year, you can still be the greatest date ever when you place an order through Alton Lane in the month of February. They’ll be sending $100 our way for every custom suit, tuxedo, or overcoat purchased – just mention the code “Change” during your appointment.

For one group of dedicated CFK’ers, raising money is as fun as shopping with friends on a Thursday afternoon…because that’s exactly what they do.

The 2nd annual Shop for Kids event was a collaboration between Alison Brettschneider’s trendy Upper East Side boutique, 25 Park, fitness guru Stacey Griffith and Stacy Helfstein’s line of clean and classy eco-chic jewelry, designed to encourage balance and harmony (and, of course, look fabulous). If you didn’t make it out to the event but are coveting one of those gorgeous wood beaded bracelets, you’re in luck! The Stac(e)y Bracelet is for sale on the CFK site, and a portion of proceeds go directly to our programs. And if you’re curious about the mother-of-two designing the jewelry, you can read more about Stacy and her work on design maven Laura Day’s website.
