A Country Wedding Fundraiser

NFT patient Karen Ettinger needs a double-lung transplant to survive. Her twin brother, Kevin, wanted a way to help her raise funds for the lifesaving treatment. He owns a collection of antique wedding dresses and invited people to his home to see the collection, while raising funds in honor of NFT.

They raised nearly $6,000, and the event was such a huge success that they may hold a second one in the spring! A portion of the funds raised came from a raffle in which lucky winners received items such as a christening gown and a gift certificate from designer Alfred Angelo.
