I AM MORE SCARSDALE ANNOUNCES, “STYLE WITH PURPOSE” SPRING EVENT ON APRIL 29 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MOMS IN TRAINING | BLOOD CANCER UNITED
Scarsdale, NY — I Am More Scarsdale is proud to announce its upcoming “Style with Purpose” Spring Shopping Event, taking place on Wednesday, April 29 from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM at its boutique located at 6 Spencer Place in Scarsdale Village. In partnership with Moms in Training and Blood Cancer United, the event will raise funds to support life-saving blood cancer research and provide critical resources for patients and their families.
Blood Cancer United is dedicated to advancing innovative research, improving access to care, and supporting individuals and families impacted by blood cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Through programs like Moms in Training, the organization empowers communities to come together in support of patients while raising awareness and funding for cutting-edge treatments.
As part of the event, I Am More Scarsdale will proudly feature David Stesner Arthouse, showcasing a curated collection of bold, expressive artwork translated into luxury home and lifestyle accessories. Known for his vibrant, butterfly-inspired designs, Stesner’s work blends fine art with functional design, offering guests a unique opportunity to shop statement pieces that bring creativity and sophistication into everyday living.
Guests are also invited to explore I Am More’s latest spring fashion collection, featuring elevated, effortless pieces designed to inspire confidence and versatility. The event promises a day of style, community, and purpose, where shopping directly contributes to meaningful impact.
<hr>
“At I Am More, everything we do is rooted in purpose,” said Marcy Berman-Goldstein and Abbey Solomon, co-founders of I Am More Scarsdale.
“This event is a reflection of what we believe in—bringing together style, community, and meaningful impact. We are honored to partner with Moms in Training and Blood Cancer United to support patients and families, and to create an experience where every purchase gives back.”
“I create luxury art and products from butterflies’ vivid imagery—harmony, joy, beauty, and life—as metaphors for human emotions, crafting vibrant, urban pop luxury for everyday use,” said David Stesner. “I am thrilled to partner with I Am More Scarsdale for such a meaningful and impactful event, bringing art, community, and purpose together in support of a cause that truly makes a difference.”
“We’re so excited for this opportunity to collaborate with I Am More and David Stesner Arthouse to raise awareness and funds for Blood Cancer United and Moms in Training,” said Lauren Medalie, MIT Team Captain. “I Am More has been a partner since the beginning, and we are excited to come together as a community to shop in support of this important cause.”

Prokofiev: String Quartet No. 2 in F Major
Brahms: String Quartet No. 1 in C Minor 
Both of these composers approached the string quartet form with reverence and some intimidation, with the examples of Haydn and Beethoven looming over them. Brahms is said to have thrown over 20 string quartets into the fireplace before settling on this “No. 1,” and Prokofiev composed his “2nd” while an evacuee from Moscow as Nazi air raids bombarded the city.
