Happy Friday everyone! I want to take a moment to bring to your attention an amazing charity event taking place this month in New York City. On Friday, January 27th, Sandbox Studios is hosting a fashion show, cocktail party, and silent auction with proceeds benefiting Fashion Delivers. For those who aren’t familiar, Fashion Delivers is a great non-profit organization that works to fight poverty and aid victims of natural disasters.
