SARATOGA SPRINGS — A world-class fashion show at Saratoga Race Course’s 1863 Club raised more than $130,000 for two regional agencies dedicated to helping individuals and families.
The event, coordinated by Natalie Sillery and Saratoga Trunk, was staged on Aug. 21 as a fundraiser for Building On Love, and Living Resources.
“We are very proud to have collaborated in such a unique way. It all started with a very special friend that we have in common, Natalie Sillery, owner of Saratoga Trunk, who approached us with the idea in early 2022,” said Jeff Yule, executive director at Building On Love – a non-profit with a mission of helping families in the community facing a life-altering medical condition. This is accomplished by providing financial support to serve as a bridge and assist with essential living expenses.
“We are extremely proud of this innovative fundraiser. Two local charities combining their efforts to create a world-class event that highlights our missions and brings our communities closer together,” added Deneen Palmateer, of Living Resources - an agency dedicated to providing life enhancing services to individuals challenged by intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as those who are brain injury survivors.
