Lilly Pulitzer hosted a Shop & Share at their King of Prussia Mall location showcasing their new golf line. 10% of all proceeds benefitted The First Tee of Greater Philadelphia! Thank you, Lilly, for your tremendous support!
More than fifty years ago, a wave of pioneering prints in the form of pink monkeys dancing, green elephants swimming in pools and flowers blooming in a rainbow of colors hit the American fashion scene. And to think, it all started with a juice stand in Palm Beach when young Lilly needed a hobby! As the story goes, Lillian McKim, a young, sassy New York socialite had eloped with Peter Pulitzer, grandson of the Pulitzer Prize’s Joseph Pulitzer, and settled in Palm Beach to live the life of the rich and famous. Peter owned several Florida citrus groves, but Lilly needed a project of her own. So in the late 1950’s, with Peter’s produce, she opened a juice stand on Via Mizner, just off Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. Lilly Pulitzer’s business was a hit, but squeezing oranges, lemons, limes, and pink grapefruit made a mess of her clothes. Realizing that she needed a juice stand uniform, Lilly asked her dressmaker to design a dress that would camouflage the stains.
We would like to thank Chesson Hadley and Wells fargo for providing this amazing opportunity for our kids. It was an incredible day!!
Tea Time for Girls Golf was a tremendous event held at Bluestone Country Club on August 1st. The event helped raise crucial funds for our Girls Golf Program! We had a great 9 hole tournmament followed by a fashion show sponsored by Lilly Pulitzer!! Our girls even got to keep their fashions!! We can’t thank Lilly Pulitzer enough for their wonderful support of the event and we can’t wait till next year.
One of our participants, Caitlyn Plover, spoke at our gala a few years ago and mentioned it was her dream to create and host a Girls Golf fundraiser. We are so happy to see her dream come true!!!
