Teatro Goldoni restaurant will host a private Fashion for Paws (F4P) Fundraising Kick-off Reception from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 3, 2010!

This event will celebrate the start of the 8 weeks of fundraising that the Fashion for Paws models will take part in all leading up to the main runway show on April 10th all benefiting the Washington Humane Society.

The brand NEW Fashion for Paws web site and individual model fundraising pages, as well as runway show tickets and tables (general tickets $85, VIP seat $150, VIP table of 5 $2500) will go on sale at that time (on the web site).

This year, our fashion sponsor, the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) will partake in this kick-off event, flying in from L.A. with the Chanel inspired collection from FIDM’s 2009 top design student, Johnathan Webster.

Tysons Galleria, our exclusive Retail Sponsor will also be on hand with retail booths set-up throughout Teatro Goldoni for those event guests in the mood to shop and snag that Nicole Miller dress or suit from Saks Fifth Avenue they’ve been dying to buy to wear at the big party on April 10th.
