June Ambrose Hosts Epic Goodwill NYNJ Fashion Gala at 10 Hudson Yards, Honors Google & David Coquillette
Witness the magic of sustainable fashion at the star-studded Goodwill Evening of Treasures! Legendary fashionista June Ambrose dazzled as host for this unforgettable event, held at the prestigious 10 Hudson Yards on May 2, 2024.
Renowned designers including Busayo Olupona, Jack Carlson of Rowing Blazers, Chris Echevarria of Blackstock & Weber, Zero Waste Daniel, and Bibhu Mohapatra showcased their creativity with one-of-a-kind outfits crafted from donated Goodwill merchandise. These stunning pieces, auctioned off to support Goodwill’s Mission Services, are a testament to the transformative power of upcycling.
Google and David Coquillette were honored for their outstanding contributions to Goodwill NYNJ’s mission. Tequila Lamar, NYC Outreach Lead, Education for Social Impact, accepted Google’s Corporate Leadership award, highlighting the tech giant’s commitment to empowering communities through initiatives like job placement and digital skills training.
But the impact of Goodwill goes beyond fashion. With over $1 million raised, the event supports vital programs providing job placement, training, and coaching for individuals with disabilities or mental health diagnoses. Through stories like Tony’s journey to Trader Joe’s and Dunstan’s tech career leap, Goodwill continues to change lives and foster independence.
