Jeffrey Fashion Cares debuts creative payment options
Tiffany Joins Fashion Cares as a Presenting Sponsor

Atlanta, Georgia (July 27, 2009) – Seen as a “first” in charity event fundraising, Jeffrey Fashion Cares Event Chairs get creative and debut payment options for everyone. Prospective attendees now have the option of making installment payments on their tickets or patronships in a discreet, confidential way. “We feel it is important to offer our support and understanding to the many Atlantans who have shown unwavering support to Fashion Cares and our beneficiaries over the years. We are thrilled to offer creative options to our attendees so they can continue to participate in such an important charitable effort,” say Event Chairs Sacha Taylor and Lila Hertz. 

The “creative financing” move is seen as a way to ease of the financial stress for those who still wanted to participate, especially in a year where the beneficiaries need the money more than ever as cuts to healthcare and loss of health insurance is being seen everywhere. Those interested in learning more about the various installment options available for the tickets and patronships, can e-mail accounting@jeffreyfashioncares.com. 

Also, Taylor and Hertz are pleased to announce that Tiffany & Company joins Fashion Cares as a Presenting Sponsor, bringing the total Presenting Sponsors to ten. Jeffrey Bateman, Southeast Regional Vice President of Tiffany & Company says, “We are delighted to be a part of Fashion Cares. When I assumed my new role with Tiffany this past spring, I started my homework of all the charitable events in the region. Fashion Cares in Atlanta has been consistently mentioned as “the event” to be involved with. I feel that because of the event’s leadership, we will be able to realize our return on investment and give back to this very deserving community.”

Jeffrey Fashion Cares will once again benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure Greater Atlanta Affiliate and the Atlanta AIDS Partnership Fund (AAPF). Last year’s sold-out event raised an unprecedented $800,000 with 95 cents on the dollar being donated to its beneficiaries.

Other 2009 Presenting Sponsors to date include Atlanta Magazine, Delta, Dennis Dean Catering, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, ING, Jeffrey, Nordstrom, W Atlanta Downtown Hotel & Residences and We Rent Atlanta. 

The annual event, which will be held on Monday, August 31st beginning at 7:00 p.m. includes a pre-show cocktail reception, couture fashion show, silent & live auctions, presentation of the Jeffrey New Talent Award and an after-party.
