Get Ready for the Season’s Most Distinctive Charity Event! Boca Raton, FL – January 30, 2015 - On April 16, 2015, national retailer, Boston Proper, and the Achievement Centers for Children & Families (ACCF) will unite once again to host the Seventh Annual Proper Affair in support of low-income children and families in our community. What began as an intimate luncheon has grown into a high-profile charity and fashion event that has raised over $650K to date. In addition to exceeding fundraising goals, the event is a fun and fabulous celebration featuring live entertainment, complimentary cocktails and delicious hors d'oeuvres. Guests can bid in an extensive silent auction for luxury items and services or purchase tickets for exclusive raffle prizes. ACCF students will surprise guests with a special performance followed by the night’s main event, the much-anticipated runway fashion show featuring the Boston Proper models! The faces that have graced the covers of the Boston Proper catalog for years take the runway to reveal a sneak peek of Boston Proper's hottest summer fashions. Boston Proper Brand President, Sheryl Clark, raves, "It’s always a blast! Thanks to our generous sponsors, the auction items get better every year. The runway show is a huge hit, everyone loves getting pictures with the models and the performance by the children lets us see the real faces behind the cause. It’s an inspiring experience that my team looks forward to all year.” A variety of sponsorship packages are available in addition to many opportunities to make a difference right here in our local community which include: purchasing raffle tickets, donating products or services or volunteering. All proceeds from the Proper Affair go directly to supporting nationally accredited early education and afterschool programs for the families served by ACCF, allowing those families to increase economic stability while providing a safe and nurturing environment for their children. “This has been an absolutely incredible partnership with Boston Proper! We are very grateful for their support over the last seven years.” says Stephanie Seibel, CEO of the Achievement Centers for Children & Families. With media coverage and glamorous photo ops, this year promises to be another unforgettable evening that will surprise and delight everyone!
