In The Spotlight
ANRF Benefits from
ETRO & Chopard Fashion Event

Two major luxury retailers, Etro and Chopard, teamed for an exclusive West Coast preview of their 2010 collections to benefit the Arthritis National Research Foundation. On November 10, 2009, celebrity model Cheryl Tiegs hosted the fashion show and luncheon held at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach, CA.  Over 110 guests watched a premier video about the cutting-edge work of the Arthritis National Research Foundation and enjoyed the exclusive Spring preview fashion show.

With more than 46 million people currently afflicted with arthritis, including 300,000 children, Etro and Chopard were anxious to help raise funds and awareness about these painful, debilitating diseases.  Cheryl Tiegs concluded her remarks by commenting on her father’s own battle with arthritis and imploring guests to give generously to this critical research.
