FASHION BLooMS proceeds will support CHW Neri Bloomfield Academy of Design (NBA) in Haifa, Israel. Funds raised will benefit scholarships for at-risk students to provide advancements in education while also providing innovative equipment to enhance the future of the Israeli fashion industry. NBA awards academic degrees in a wide variety of creative fields, including graphic design, architecture, and fashion. This institution is building academic excellence and becoming a major influencer and innovator in the world of design. A highly respected institution of higher learning, the pluralistic student body includes Arab, Druze, Ethiopian, Jewish, and Christian students who learn together with peaceful coexistence.
CHW (Canadian Hadassah-WIZO) empowers women and children by supporting education, healthcare, and social services across Israel and Canada.
Founded by visionary Jewish women in 1917, CHW (Canadian Hadassah-WIZO) is a non-political, non-partisan, national network of dedicated volunteers who believe that excellence and advancement of education, healthcare, and social services transcends politics, religion, and national boundaries.
Now in its third year, CHW is taking the annual FASHION BLooMS event to a whole new level by introducing guests to the immersive world of FASHION. CHW has entered a new era, engaging the next generation of supporters proving that we ‘aren’t your Bubbie’s CHW.’ Join us for an evening of the latest trends in fashion, mingle with young professionals, walk the red carpet, immerse yourself in a fashion extravaganza, surrounded by engaging visuals, a fashion show, and cap the evening off as the room transforms into an after-party.

It is our mission to ensure that at-risk women and children can access state-of-the-art healthcare, education, and social services, in a safe and secure environment.
Our deep gratitude goes to Jennie Blitz and Ari Schachter, Fashion Blooms National Chairs, and Barb Rosenstein, Honorary National Chair, for their tireless dedication, and to Daisy Chark, Vancouver Fashion Blooms Chair and her entire Vancouver Fashion Blooms Committee, who collectively ensured the success of tonight’s event. Kol Hakavod.
Our heartfelt appreciation to our very generous lead sponsors for their philanthropy: Mawer, Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver, and Toby Rubin. I would also like to thank our venue sponsor, Brian Jessel BMW.
We also want to thank our donors, sponsors, and supporters, and the students, faculty, and staff from Neri Bloomfield Academy of Design, for helping to ensure today’s event is a huge success.
Our third annual Fashion Blooms will raise funds to transform the lives of our students and provide support for their future. None of this happens without you, our dedicated and generous donors.
