Aventura, FL – June 12, 2014 – Miamians shopped till they dropped on Thursday evening, and all for a great cause as the National YoungArts Foundation and Henri Bendel presented the fabulous Shop For A Cause event hosted by Alison Zhuk, Erika Koopman, Lyndsey Cooper and Shoshanna Wagner. Guests at the Aventura affair were able to enjoy champagne and chocolates as well as a special performance by YoungArts alumnus Derek Powell while they browsed the trendy store. Best part of the day? Shoppers received a discount of 10% off on all full-priced purchases. Even better? Henri Bendel graciously donated 10% of the evening’s proceeds to support YoungArts, which identifies and supports the next generation of artists, and contributes to the cultural vitality of the nation by investing in the artistic development of talented young artists in the visual, literary, design and performing arts.
