You are cordially invited to attend the first-ever BurdaStyle Charity Sewing Night!
Partnering with the American Cancer Society (ACS), BurdaStyle pledged in late November to give 150 user-made bow ties for auction at the upcoming ACS Pink and Black Tie Gala, raising money for the advancement of cancer research. Many users responded enthusiastically and sent in their handcrafted creations. As usual, we were impressed by your talents and grateful for your generosity. Nonetheless, we are still in need of more bow ties to complete our goal.
Nearing the deadline date, BurdaStyle would like to host a night filled with fun sewing for a great cause! Meet the BurdaStyle team and other members as we come together to sew for a great cause. You’ll be guaranteed wonderful conversation, fantastic bow tie fun and a warm heart.
The event will be held Wednesday, April 29th from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at our Brooklyn-based studio.
Unfortunately, due to such a great response, we had to close the RSVP for this event. Nonetheless, there still are ways to participate in this fun night!
Follow the festivities through Twitter and Flickr, where we will upload each bow tie as they are completed, as well as photos of all the people involved. On Flickr, you can join our special group, where those unable to attend can post their own creations on this special night. And we would love for you to continue sending in your bow ties, as we still have a ways to go in reaching our goal of 150 bow ties for the American Cancer Society’s Pink and Black Tie Gala. Your creations would certainly bring us closer to that goal.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to seeing your bow ties!
