Town Treasures Abound At Junior League of Bronxville's 2016 Trails Fundraiser

The Junior League of Bronxville's signature fundraiser, Trails to Treasures, has always benefitted from the supportive community in its namesake town, Bronxville. The generosity of residents to open their homes to the public over the years demonstrates the community's overall commitment to the Junior League of Bronxville’s vision of Stamping Out Hunger in Southern Westchester. This will continue to be the case in 2016 when guests to the Friday May 6th event, depart the shopping boutique at the Bronxville Women’s Club to tour and taste their way through five exclusive residences.

Now with an expanded two-day event, the community engagement has grown even deeper, in particular with local businesses. On Thursday, May 5th, the newest element, Trails @ Twilight will include a fashion show featuring spring looks modeled by members and supporters of the Junior League of Bronxville. The JLB would like to thank the following businesses for their participation: Adrian East, Boo Gemes, Bronxville Running Company, Chaos, Citrine, India Morgan, J.McLaughlin, Maison Rouge, Mano A Mano, NORTH, Scout & Molly’s of New Canaan, SF, The Silk Road, Toney Toni and the Gang, Weezie D and Yum Yum Tree.

"The Bronxville Chamber of Commerce is extremely grateful to the Junior League of Bronxville, not only for the invaluable service they provide in their tireless commitment to address hunger in our area, but also because of the new methods the organization has developed to embrace the business community in these charitable endeavors. The Chamber's member businesses are excited to be a part of the new fashion show, both to showcase their merchandise and to demonstrate their support of the Junior League's efforts. This is precisely how a community should partner," says Susan Miele, Executive Director of the Bronxville Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to the shopping across the two days of events, there will be a treasure trove of amazing raffle prizes, many of which have been provided by local businesses. An extremely popular item already, through pre-event online sales, is the three-night stay at the Hamilton Princess in Bermuda courtesy of Bayside Travel. Barbara Nichuals, president and CEO, shared that, “Bayside Travel is a proud supporter of many local charitable organizations. We are especially honored to support the work of the Junior League of Bronxville, a nonprofit that was founded in 1948, which is close to when our Gramatan Travel division was established in town. This year is a special one for our business locally after merging our former Larchmont office with the Gramatan Travel division into our new home of Bayside Travel on Pondfield Road. Contributing to Trails seems a fitting way to mark the occasion.”
