Upcoming, Oct 10, 2013 Charity Event 'Compassion, Fashion & Cocktails' benefits Bethesda Lutheran Communities

This event will specifically benefit our chosen charity, Bethesda Lutheran Communities. Bethesda Lutheran Communities is a leading provider of person-centered and community-based services that enhance the lives of people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities around the country and throughout the world. Bethesda offers residential and supported-living services, faith and ministry supports, education and training resources, and employment assistance.

What: Immerse yourself in culinary delight and artistic flair and join nearly 500 affluent professionals, entrepreneurs, media, and sports and entertainment personas for Compassion, Fashion & Cocktails, an evening honoring the arts while raising money for the charity Bethesda Lutheran Communities.

Focusing on a theme of pioneers in fashion, food, and film, Frontier will be transformed into a cutting edge fashion runway scene as guests take part in silent auctions and raffles. Gift bags will be provided for the first 100 guests.

Attendees will savor a specially created menu of hors d’oeuvres from Frontier’s Chef Brian Jupiter. For a landscape of lavish libations, the event will house a cocktail reception from 5:30-7:30PM hosted by the Bombay Sapphire World Bazaar- a program highlighting Italy, Morocco, and Thailand’s unique botanicals with a signature cocktail based on each country. Additionally, Bombay will host an interactive bar where guests can mix their own Bombay cocktails with instruction from Bombay a mixologist.

During this celebration of food, guests will enjoy a Runway Fashion Show by Designer AS by DF and ASTARS who will be showcasing their 2013 Fall Collection.
