The Carter Burden Center for the Aging's Fall Fashion Show

THE CARTER BURDEN CENTER FOR THE AGING ROLLS OUT THE RED CARPET FOR THEIR FALL FASHION SHOW

From the time the first models took to the runway to the end-of-show standing ovation, audience members were delighted at the Fall Fashion Show starring the seniors, volunteers from Macy’s and staff at The Carter Burden Center for the Aging’s Luncheon Club on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. On October 13, 2016, the models walked the runway, escorted by dressed-to-the-nines gentlemen, to the sounds of applause, laughter and joy filling the room.

Emceed by William Dionne, The Carter Burden Center’s Executive Director, the senior models were stunning in their own formal wear and hand-knit fashions. Complete with professional hair and make-up done by Macy’s volunteers, the divas were delighted with the warm reception of their peers and posed for the many flashing cameras.

The Carter Burden Center’s Luncheon Club provides hot meals, served restaurant-style with a smile, to hundreds of older people daily. The Club serves as a community beacon for seniors to gather, socialize and enjoy educational and recreational programs.

The Carter Burden Center for the Aging, Inc. is a non-profit agency established in 1971 by the late Carter Burden when he was a New York City Councilman. The mission is to promote the well-being of seniors, 60 and older, through a continuum of services, advocacy and volunteer programs oriented to individual, family and community needs.
