November 29, 2007 - December 1, 2007



Barbara Hatz (former Chairman of the Board, LI Region, DRIF), Rina Weinbrom (2008 Spring into Fashion Co-Chair), Addy Fritzhand (2008 Spring into Fashion Honoree), Nicole Mancini(Bottega Venetta), Deborah Chodrow (Senior Vice President, DRIF) , Jamie Pati (Bottega Venetta), and Doreen Peykar (2008 Spring into Fashion Co-Chair).

The champagne was flowing last night at Bottega Veneta! While women sipped they also shopped - all for a great cause!  Bottega Veneta hosted a reception for the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation, to kick off the Americana Manahasset's annual Champions for Charity three-day shopping event. Twenty-five percent of all pre-tax purchases made at Bottega Veneta were donated to the DRIF as designated by the customer. A sweepstakes was also held and one lucky lady was the recipient of a luxurious leather Bottega Veneta wallet. 

This was the 12th year that the Americana Manhasset hosted their annual Champions for Charity Holiday Shopping Benefit to support not-for-profit organizations on Long Island including the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation.
