Independent Group Home Living Program, Inc., (IGHL), providing services for men, women and children who have intellectual disabilities, with 70 group homes and 25 day programs located throughout both Nassau and Suffolk Counties, hosts dozens of fundraisers annually.
One of the most popular fundraising events on the East End is their annual IGHL Fashion Fling & Luncheon at Westhampton Country Club in Westhampton Beach, N.Y. This year's event takes place on Sunday, October 23rd from 11.30 AM - 3.30 PM.
“This event is about bringing women together who support IGHL and its mission,’ says Dori Geier, Sr. Director, Human Resources, IGHL, co-founder of the IGHL Luncheon & Fashion Fling with Mary Beth Lichtneger, IGHL’s Chief Financial Officer. “This event recognizes these women as being a vital part of IGHL’s family and in this way we honor them.” “These women are mothers, sisters, cousins, grandmothers and aunts of some of the people we care for; others are valued supporters,” adds Lichtneger. “Together we are strong in fighting for and standing up for those who aren’t able to.”
Willis is the event sponsor for the 8th straight year. The beautiful flowers that adorn each table are provided by 1800FLOWERS. Additional sponsors include Mutual of America, Jackson Lewis, Cafara Greenleaf Investments and AETNA. The acclaimed Greg Williams Quartet will be performing throughout the luncheon and fashion show.
IGHL is delighted to be working with Janine Nebons, G.M. Tanger Outlets Riverhead & Worth New York, sponsors of the fashion show for the fourth straight year. Worth New York is providing the outfits and Peggy Palmer, Store Manager for Worth New York, will ‘MC’ the fashion program. “Worth New York is an up-scale women's clothing company inspired by a passion for excellence, luxury and sophistication. They provide products with visible, intrinsic value through an enduring commitment to style, quality and service. Worth partners with organizations dedicated to improving the lives of women and children and are proud to be providing the fashions for this year's IGHL Fashion Fling & Luncheon.”
“Working in concert with our retail partner Worth and other Tanger retailers,” adds Nebons, “we are happy to support IGHL’s mission to provide quality programs, services and support for the intellectually-disabled. IGHL’s work on Long Island is essential to serving those individuals that need assistance on many levels. We know the annual Fashion Show is a perfect fit for Tanger Outlets and IGHL and look forward to showcasing great Fall fashion!”
