NIGHTLIGHT: Fashion Fights Cancer Presents ‘Let Go To Hold On’ a charity benefit honoring Thuy Diep

Last week, Fashion Fights Cancer closed out NY Fashion Week with the charity benefit Let Go to Hold On at the Ana Tzarev Gallery (www.anatzarev.com). Fashion Fights Cancer definitely brings out a beautifully fashionable crowd. Whom You Know is pleased to support all cancer charities in honor of Peachy's grandmother, Elizabeth Deegan, who is pictured on this website and passed away from brain cancer. She certainly loved to shop so she definitely would have enjoyed designing something while she battled cancer. We think this is a fabulous idea. Despite the torrential downpours, New Yorkers headed to mid-town to participate in part two of Fashion Fights Cancer’s fundraising event. This time, instead of being surrounded by Audi’s we were surrounded by the beautiful artwork featured at Ana Tzarev’s Gallery on 57^th Street. Fashion Week Designer Thuy Diep was also honored. Her beautiful models draped in her lovely dresses which are works of art themselves! With cameras flickering and cocktails flowing, the attendees generously donated their time and funds to benefit Fashion Fights Cancer and Out with Cancer causes. This was a wonderful event for a great cause – the threatening thunderstorms couldn’t stop us!

Thuy Diep was this year’s honoree and she displayed her spring/summer 2010 collection. She was inspired by the bugs she saw on her trip to abroad. That inspiration was translated beautifully to silk dresses. She has a wonderful way of mixing colors and patterns that is so feminine and delicate. A few of Thuy’s closest friends and colleagues spoke about her accomplishments. Among those was Pialy Aditya, president of MintBox.com.

The sponsors of this event were MintBox.com, Zink Magazine, CharityHappenings.com, Starbright Forals, YOUAREONTHELIST.COM, Ana Tzarev Gallery. Proceeds were donated to Out With Cancer! and the Fashion Fights Cancer Therapeutic Building Fund.

Hosting this wonderful event was Robin Ross of YOUAREONTHELIST.com and Steven Beltrani of CharityHappenings.org.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
