Coldwater Creek's NYC Store Celebrates its 1st Anniversary with a Special Event to Benefit Band of
Parents
Coldwater Creek, the national, leading retailer of quality fashion for women, recently celebrated the 1st Anniversary of the
opening of its New York City store located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side on 3rd Avenue at 68th Street with an evening
cocktail reception and fashion show hosted on September 10th, 2008.
The evening was all about toasting the stores successful first year in the Big Apple, but more importantly it was a celebration
of the community that surrounds the store and the new friends the brand has made in local area residents as well as
neighborhood businesses and organizations. Supporting a store’s local community is a passion for Coldwater Creek across
the country.
After learning about Band of Parents through Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, which is located in the same Upper
East Side neighborhood as Coldwater Creek’s NYC store, Coldwater Creek chose to use its 1st Anniversary celebration as an
opportunity to salute Band of Parents, help bring awareness to the worthy organization and utilize the power of retail sales
to raise money for the children and families affected by Neuroblastoma.
The festive evening was attended by 425 guests who included families and friends of Band of Parents and Memorial Sloan-
Kettering Cancer Center as well as Coldwater Creek customers. The highlight of the evening was a fashion show that
featured Coldwater Creek’s latest looks for the fall season. Walking the catwalk were 7 supermodels, who included 4 moms,
1 grandmother and 2 aunts representing Band of Parents. The real stars of the show were all the children who escorted
their supermodel moms and family members down the runway; they really brought the house down and the room was filled
with lots of huge smiles, hearts swelling with compassion and tremendous admiration for the children whose bravery and
strength is well beyond their years.
The cash registers continued to ring all night long and a portion of the proceeds of all sales made were donated to Band of
Parents by Coldwater Creek, which amounted to $2,200. The company looks forward to many more opportunities to partner
with Band of Parents and do what it can to support the children, the families and the cause.

MAGIC HAPPENED!
Click here to view slide show
The night was magic as young and old danced, laughed and celebrated life. The Hubcaps Oldies Show and Dance proved to
be an evening of community, of celebration and of fun. Children with Neuroblastoma danced and played alongside those
without disease. For a few magical hours they were no different than anyone else. The strength and support of having
several families banding together was what truly made the event a moving and meaningful experience. The money raised
tops $55,000.00. It will go directly to the fund established at MSKCC to move new treatments forward in hopes these kids
and many others will dance alongside their friends for years to come.
Thank you all for your generous support of this event.

Paddling for a Cure May 10th to the 24th
Karen and Maryellen (mom and aunt to Neuroblastoma survivor Kate Jacobs) will paddle raft the entire length of
the Grand Canyon over two weeks’ time. They'll sleep on the shore of the Colorado River at night and raft it by
day. This will be a wonderful adventure as they’ll go two weeks without their kids - or a shower! They'll cross
more than 100 rapids, including the wildest navigable river water in all of North America. They're calling this
adventure "PADDLING FOR A CURE!" and they're doing it to fund the development of a new treatment for
Neuroblastoma. Please visit the link below for more details and please make a donation to show your support.
Every dollar counts!
