St. Jude Heart of Fashion event for children with cancer, other life-threatening diseases to feature CH Carolina Herrera Spring/Summer collection at CityCenterDC on May 17

WHAT:                

The 12^th annual St. Jude Heart of Fashion event will bring together business leaders, community members, and fashion enthusiasts for an evening of cocktails, philanthropy and fashion. The event benefits St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®, which is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

CH Carolina Herrera will present a runway show of the brand's Spring/Summer 2019 collection in CityCenterDC's 22,000 square-foot, open-air Central Plaza. The event will be the only runway show to feature the collection in the United States outside of Fashion Week.

Thanks to generous donors at events like this, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
