Ms. Trump donated the dresses to the Toys for Tots Foundation to raise funds to provide toys to needy children in the New York Metropolitan area. The event will include a silent auction of Ms. Trump's gowns, which were created by such designers as Oscar de la Renta, Galanos, Vicky Tiel, Bill Blass, and Carolina Herrera. Berkeley College students will model all of the fashions at the show, and will be escorted by members of the United States Marine Corps in full dress uniform. There is no admission fee to attend the show, but all guests are asked to make a donation to the Toys for Tots Foundation. Maurice Pettiford, New York City Coordinator of the Toys for Tots Foundation.
Every child deserves a happy holiday.
Our objective this year is to reach one million toys and inspire one million smiles. The Marine Corps will be collecting toys for the Toys for Tots Foundation through December 22. The site includes a feature allowing interested donors to make purchases of toys on-line and have those toys sent directly to the New York City Toys for Tots Command Center. In addition, the site lists drop-off locations for the donation of toys throughout Westchester County and the five boroughs of New York City. The Fashion Show is being coordinated by students of the College's Fashion Club, under the direction of Fashion Marketing and Management Department Chair Andrew Burnstine.
