On Thursday, May 19th, A Flare for Design will bring together the design community, socialites, celebrities and business professionals for an evening of fashion, fun and fundraising combined with high design. The evening will culminate with a fashion show featuring national luxury fashion brands and a silent auction, while showcasing the latest interior design trends. All proceeds will benefit The Lupus Foundation of America, S.E. Florida Chapter.
It is estimated that 80 percent of the public know little or nothing about Lupus, a disease that affects 1.5 million people nationwide. In efforts to raise awareness and further educate the community about Lupus, Jenny Wilensky, Founder of istylie.com, created A Flare for Design.
“My mother fought for 35 years while living with Lupus and never did she once complain about what she went through,” said Jenny Wilensky. “I never knew how Lupus had affected her until now. Since her passing in June 2010, due to complications of Lupus, I have made it my passion to spread awareness and really make a difference within the community. My ultimate goal is to draw awareness to help fight, treat and cure this debilitating disease.”
