NAWN Raises over $20,000 for Amethyst!

The New Albany Women's Network (NAWN) held their 12th annual charity spring fashion show this past March, and chose Amethyst to be their beneficiary! This lively afternoon featured food, fashion and socializing- all for a great cause, which was to help fund Amethysts' SummerQuest Program. The SummerQuest program supports Amethysts' endeavors to assist women in recovery by providing a fun camp experience and counseling for children of women undergoing treatment. The event was made possible by the generous support of the presenting sponsor, Limited Brands. In addition to the fashion show, there was a silent auction and a Martketplace in which patrons could purchase clothing, jewelry and accessories. NAWN marketed and coordinated this event swimmingly, as the turnout superseded their expectations. The fashion show ended up raising over $20,000, but NAWN didn't stop there. They graciously donated toys and gift cards in another effort to benefit the success of SummerQuest. All of the women, children and employees at Amethyst send their dearest thanks to NAWN for all of their help and support. If you have an organization that you would like to get involved with the Amethyst mission, please contact Nanon Morrison, at nmorrison@amethyst-inc.org.
