A Night to GiveBack at RS POP Shop
Posted on 21. Jul, 2011 by melissagonzalez in Events, fashion, RS Pop
In the tradition we hold of community building, last night we joined forces with Socialisle.com and the KTCollection at RS POP to celebrate birthday girl Christine Miserandino and grow awareness for her organization ButYouDontLookSick.com
ButYouDon’tLookSick.com was founded by Christine who is a Lupus patient herself. She uses many mediums to spread the message: to help everyone with a chronic illness or invisible disability, in order for them to live their lives to the fullest and not feel isolated and alone. “We believe that our medical circumstances have put us in a unique and understanding position, so that we can help each other through similar difficult times.”
Friends, family and passerby-ers came in droves to support and all were touched by Christine’s warmth and energy. A Portion of all sales for the night were donated to BYDLS by the KTCollection.
It’s one small step towards making a difference. Please take a moment to learn more and help grow awareness for Lupus.
Thank you to BrooklynCupcakes for being our delicious snack sponsor!
