Fashion Industries Guild
The Fashion Industries Guild, established more than 56 years ago, is a fashion industry-based organization raising funds for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Membership includes dedicated people from the region's fashion world - manufacturers, financial institutions, buying offices, sales reps, marketing groups, property owners, and service providers. Over these years, more than $22 million has been raised for Cedars-Sinai projects.
On September 23rd, 2012, Jeff Kapor of Buchalter Nemer and Jay Mangel of Crowe Horwath LLP will be honored at the Fashion Industries Guild's 56th Annual Charity Dinner Dance at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
Proceeds will benefit The Diana and Steve Marienhoff Fashion Industries Guild Endowed Fellowship in Pediatric Neuromuscular Diseases. The Fellowship will allow the Department of Pediatrics and Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute to investigate and develop new treatments for devastating neurological diseases affecting children, including spinal muscular atrophy, cerebral palsy and epilepsy. The Fellowship will help children and their families improve outcomes and offer hope for a healthy and productive future.
