| Standing Tall... |
K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers Gala to honor Heidi Klum, Thomas A. Kingsbury (President and CEO of Burlington Stores, and Carl Banks, Former NY Giant and President of G-III Sports…also celebrated a record year of donations of new products given to children/families in need…and a block buster fund raising night that garnered $2.1 million+.
How perfect was this venue-the
American Museum of Natural History…where probably everyone in attendance (a sold-out crowd of 1000) had spent countless hours running around the halls, screaming at the top of their lungs-either as kids or in search of them...
