You're Invited to PENHALIGON'S holiday reception! Bring a pair of used glasses and receive a complimentary gift!

New Eyes for the Needy is partnering with PENHALIGON’S, the British Perfumery, located in the Mall at Short Hills this holiday season to support New Eyes’ mission to bring clear vision to those in need.

To kick off the season of giving and its support of New Eyes, PENHALIGON’S is inviting the public to a holiday reception on Thursday, December 1st, 6:00-8:00pm, at its store at the Mall at Short Hills, located on the second floor at the center of the mall.

In addition, 20% of all sales that evening and throughout the weekend will be donated to New Eyes to support its new prescription eyeglass program for low income children and adults in the U.S.

“New Eyes is excited to partner with PENHALIGON’S, and we’re especially delighted to be doing it in our hometown of Short Hills,” said Jean Gajano, New Eyes Executive Director. “We’re grateful for PENHALIGON’S support and I can’t think of a better way to begin the holidays than with a glass of prosecco, hors d’oeuvres and an opportunity to further New Eyes mission to bring clear vision to the most vulnerable in our state, our country and throughout the world.”
