Tia, who, herself, has unexpectedly dealt with and successfully overcome breast cancer, knows about the concern for egg conservation oh too well. Fertile Hope aims to increase awareness of egg harvesting, with the mission to secure funds for women unable to cover the expense of saving their eggs when faced with the possibility of infertility due to chemotherapy. Fertile Hope is a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing reproductive information, support and hope to cancer patients and survivors whose medical treatments present the risk of infertility.

The host committee of this charity soiree consisted of: Alex McCord, Simon Van Kempen, Benjamin Emile Le Hay, Stephanie Newhouse, Douglas Marshall, Designer Christine Marchuska, Juliana Ilvento, Jeremy Logan-Canvendish, Larry Zarsky & Robert Levin of Icon Group.

A HUGE congrats goes out to Tia for an event well done, and money well raised for such an important yet under-discussed charity that deserves to be in the spotlight.
