Fashion Show/Scholarship Luncheon at Woman's Club
Fashion show and luncheon fundraiser to raise money for scholarships for White Plains high school students.
On April 16, The Woman’s Club of White Plains’ Annual Scholarship Luncheon and Spring Fashion Show will take place at its clubhouse, the historic CV Rich Mansion. The event which is open to the public will feature a served lunch, fashion show, silent auction and raffles. A sell-out crowd is expected again this year.
The Woman’s Club has been awarding scholarships to high school students for over sixty years. Initially, scholarships were awarded to nursing students at White Plains Hospital and then to White Plains High School students. The Club’s Scholarship Committee reviews nearly 50 applications each year and each student is interviewed by the committee. Winners are selected based on financial need, grades, and potential for success in college.
Previous recipients have attended colleges such as Princeton, Cornell, Boston University and NYU amongst many others. They will be highlighted in this year’s event program with a description of which college they attended and what they have done since graduation.
