There’s no charge for the event, but attendees are invited to make a donation at the door. A $50 contribution guarantees a $50 gift card to Skirt, valid on purchases over $100. And anyone who makes a donation of $100 receives a $100 gift card, valid on purchases over $250. The gift cards are valid thru Oct. 18.

Also available is the official HelpUsAdopt.org bracelet. Co-designed by Fawcett and Denise Cox (owner of Denise Cox Designs), this chocolate-brown quartz-beaded bracelet is accented with a gold leaf, symbolizing a family tree. The entire purchase price of the bracelet ($35) will be donated directly to the organization.

The event runs 6-8:30 p.m. at 931 Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr. To learn more or R.S.V.P. to the event, e-mail Fawcett at becky.fawcett@helpusadopt.org.
