Wayne, PA -- June 1, 2003 -- More than 900 people attended The American Girl Fashion Shows and Teas hosted by The Saturday Club at Lily Langtry's in Valley Forge on May 3rd and 4th. The Shows, emceed by local celebrities Anita Brickman, 6ABC Action News, Jill Chernekoff, Chernekoff Communications and Pat James DeMentri, QVC Program Host, featured girls ages 3 to 12 modeling historic and contemporary fashions – from daywear and sleepwear to special-occasion clothing. The event raised $32,000 for Mommy's Light Lives On Fund and The Saturday Club Historic Preservation Fund, with half the proceeds going to each fund.

"We are thrilled at the level of community support which helped make this event so successful in its first year," said Chris Kozeracki, Club President and Wayne resident. "We are also excited about providing this level of financial support to two great organizations which serve our community." The Saturday Club is a non-profit service organization that has been serving the Main Line and Greater Philadelphia area through community service and philanthropic contributions since 1886.

Mommy's Light is a non-profit organization based in the Delaware Valley that brings joy and comfort to young people whose mothers are in life-threatening situations or deceased by helping them keep alive traditions or simple pleasures they shared with their mothers.

"We couldn't be happier to have the tremendous support of The Saturday Club," said Laura Munts, Mommy's Light President and Downingtown resident. "The Saturday Club's donation will be used to fund Mommy's Light's outreach, education and service efforts throughout the Delaware Valley."
