“This event helps support our daily work: connecting resources with communities in need across the country,” said Delivering Good Board Chair Andrea Weiss. “At the same time, the devastating events of the last several months compelled us to dedicate a portion of the funds raised to supporting those who have fled the war in Ukraine. Delivering Good has been providing needed resources since shortly after the conflict broke out and we will be there as long as we are needed.”
The event marked its 15th anniversary by honoring Jordana Guimaraes, Co-Founder, Fashinnovation and Author, “It Can Be You”; Jen Sidary, Founder & CEO, angelforfashion.com; Natasha Fishman, Chief Communications Officer & EVP Marketing, Authentic Brands Group; and Donna Noce Colaco, Executive Chairwoman & CEO, Matilda Jane Clothing.

Whether I’m mentoring and growing the next generation of leaders or opening hearts to those in need, there’s no price tag that could ever measure the true value of making a difference in someone’s life.”
Hosted by Luxury Style Expert and Founder of Pop Style TV Tijana Ibrahimovic, the program also included remarks by event co-chairs Carole Postal and Amber Mundinger, music by DJ Hesta Prynn, and videos showcasing the organization’s work.
