What an amazing event Couture For A Cure was today! Some 175 guest attended the fashion show hosted by Dave and Carol Van Andel and Leigh’s. It featured the best of fall from Leigh’s and a sneak peek at Ruffian’s 2009 spring collection. Today’s event was to raise funds for important research and science education at the Van Andel Institute. It was held in the grand gallery of their facility. Huntington Bank was the lead sponsor. Guests enjoyed Naya’s bag lunches around bistro tables, were able to get their make-up touched up at the Laura Mercier table and purchased raffle tickets for a beautiful brooch from Hoffman Jewelers. Then everyone took their seats and were treated to a New York style runway show! Great fashion! Great Food! Great Fundraiser!
