It’s the hottest sale in town! Each year, more than 8,000 people from all over the US come to the legendary POSH® sale looking to score that perfect outfit or that head-turning dress!

Shop for both men women’s and children’s items, designer clothing to accessories, from petites to plus size, at sizzling sale prices of up to 80% of retail.

For nearly 40 years, the Lighthouse POSH® Sale has been the East Coast’s leading fashion fundraiser, offering new and gently worn designer clothing, accessories and footwear for women, men and children. Nestled between couture and ready-to-wear gowns, vintage one-of-a-kind finds, classic suits and pretty pumps are “got-to-have” handbags, jewelry and other fashionable treasures. The city’s hottest fashion fundraiser offering new and gently used designer clothing and accessories for women, men and children – is moving to Manhattan’s legendary Plaza Hotel this year.

Thursday, May 12, 2011 through Sunday May 15, 2011 at The Plaza. Hours will be Thursday-Saturday, 9am-6pm, and Sunday 11am-5pm. Admission is $10, or $30 for a 4-day pass. For tickets call 212-821-9455 or visit poshsale.org. All POSH® proceeds benefit Lighthouse International’s mission of fighting vision loss through prevention, treatment and empowerment.

It is no surprise that fashion plays such an integral role in philanthropy for Lighthouse International.  Sisters Winifred and Edith Holt used their dress allowances to help fund the organization in 1905. The sisters blazed a trail of firsts and opened up new doors of opportunity for people without sight. 105 years later, Lighthouse International has led the charge in the fight against vision loss through prevention, treatment and empowerment. Today, they proudly continue the Holt legacy on behalf of all those who look to the Lighthouse as a beacon of hope— and will for many years to come.

 Philanthropy is always in fashion at Lighthouse International! Share the gift!
