On September 30th, I attended the 2nd Annual Afghan Hands and Orlane Fundraiser, hosted by Longchamp at their Soho store. Click here to read about last year's Afghan Hands Fundraiser.
Attendees included Cynthia Nixon, Claire Danes, Kelly Bensimon, Jessica Seinfeld, Ryan McGinness, Lara Meiland-Shaw and Emma Snowdon-Jones.
The event was a huge success, raising $45,000 for Afghan Hands with over 250 guests in attendance. The event was sponsored by Orlane, Paris in memory of Nazaneen Toloui, a former VP of Orlane and the first board member of Afghan Hands.
This year there was an auction including a two-night package at L'Ermitage in Beverly Hills valued at $2,000 and a two-night package at Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur valued at $3253.45. There were also pledges taken for different levels of support for the women of Afghan Hands.
