Shopping for Charity!
DC’s District Sample Sale. It’s Tuesday, September 9th.
The District Sample Sale is Washington’s biggest and best high-end bargain shopping event. The evening features 20 of Washington’s best designer clothing and shoe boutiques selling their end-of-season wares at liquidation-level prices, with many previewing their upcoming season looks at exclusive event prices. The DSS also features cocktails, hors d’oeuvres from our participating restaurants, a fashion-focused silent auction, raffle, goodie bag (with VIP tickets) and more.
We’re an all-volunteer organization with 100% of our profits donated to our chosen charity each season.
This fall it’s the DC Rape Crisis Center, but past charities have been Martha’s Table, Suited for Change, and Miriam’s House. The sale’s organizers are committed to helping past recipients as well as the current selection. I think it’s great that they’re making a long-term commitment to support these charities.
I’m not really in the mood to buy high-end clothing right now, but a little mix and mingling might be good for my soul at the moment. Plus I really need to get out of the house for a sophisticated evening. There’s only so much grungy hipster a person can take. Factoring in food and drink, $40 doesn’t sound so bad. The opera always costs more than that.
