CHA Charity Wings Flash Mob - "Mob Flash" for Breast Cancer Awareness

The Westcott Brand team participated in the Charity Wings Flash Mob - "Mob Flash" for Breast Cancer Awareness at the Winter 2013 Craft & Hobby Association Trade Convention. This fun event for a great cause was organized by Charity Wings and held in the lobby of the Anaheim Convention Center just prior to the opening of the 2013 Winter CHA Show. The fundraising event highlighted the Be Aware Foundation and featured a wide variety of "Art Bras" created by the many talented members of the Craft & Hobby Association! The Westcott Brand team joined in the mob flash donning an eight piece set of art bras created by Westcott Brand's resident designer Marisa Pawelko of Modern Surrealist, with flashy glitter provided by Art Institute Glitter! The Westcott Brand designer also created the pink "Scissor Wings" worn by Charity Wings founder Elena Lai Etcheverry during the flash mob with dazzling beads provided by Cousin Corporation. And the celebration didn't stop there! That night, Westcott Brand sponsored an impromptu cocktail party and silent auction of the art bras to raise funds for the Be Aware Foundation!
