Fundraiser: Fashion Speaks: Service in Style at Princeton
Fashion week is coming to Princeton. Think runways, heels, killer suits and cutting-edge fashion. Run by Princeton students, the fashion show is more than beautiful clothes and beautiful people — all of the proceeds from the event go to Eden Autism Services. Eden, a New Jersey nonprofit, was founded to improve the lives of children and adults with autism and those of their families. The event will also feature musical performances, a dance performance by diSiac Dance Company and a silent auction.
