Future Faces of Fashion Charity Fashion Show
Future Faces of Fashion, The Art Institute of Philadelphia's annual student fashion show, was held on Wednesday, September 3 in the Grand Ballroom of the Crowne Plaza at 18th & Market Streets, in Center City Philadelphia.
The fashion show featured collections from Associate's and Bachelor's level Fashion Design graduates and was produced by Fashion Marketing students. A portion of the proceeds went to the Morris Animal Refuge in Philadelphia to benefit the Refuge's preventive, protective and adoption service programs for abused neglected and abandoned animals.
We will have photos of this wonderful event soon.
The Refuge, its Board of Directions, staff and volunteers wish to thank the Art Institute of Philadelphia for its generous support of the Refuge. |

The
Morris Animal Refuge offers innovative and high quality
care for cats, dogs and other small animals. The
Refuge provides a full range of preventive, protective
and adoption services for abused, neglected and abandoned
animals. You can make a direct, and immediate
impact on the lives of one of these animals by "saving
a life today", through a generous online
donation to the Refuge.
The
Morris Animal Refuge adoption services cover the
Greater Philadelphia Pennsylvania Region only; consisting
of an area in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
and Maryland.
In
more than 120 years, no animal has ever been turned
away from our door.
The
Refuge, the first in the United States to care for
cats, was founded by Elizabeth Morris, one of our
nation's pioneers in animal welfare, in 1874. The
Refuge continues to operate today in Center City
Philadelphia at its home at 1242 Lombard Street.
The
Refuge is run by a small and dedicated staff whose
primary responsibilities include animal care, adoptions
and humane education. Our volunteers provide many
hours of additional support with all phases of animal
care and fund raising.
The
Morris Animal Refuge is a nonprofit organization
as determined by the Internal Revenue Service under
their code, section 501(c)(3). The refuge is dependent
on the community's tax-deductible contributions to
provide a second chance for these deserving animals. |
There
are always dangers in and around our homes
throughout the year which might seriously affect
our animal friends.
We've
added two new features to our web site to
help you identify potential problems for
your animal friends at home.
We
now have a Household Danger list
pointing out some of the many dangers to
animals commonly found inside and outside
our homes.
We
also have added a Poisonous Plant list
to our site, listing many of the most common
plants found in and around the house which
could poison your animal friends.
Links
to both of these lists can be found on our News page. |
