ST. LOUIS, (SLFP.com) April 6, 2008 - The red carpet was rolled out, April 5, for a New York-style glamourous night of spring fashion, broadway entertainment and high energy.
Macy's "Stars on Broadway" Fashion Show at the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark in downtown St. Louis drew more than 750 patrons, who raised over $43,500 for the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at St. Louis Children's Hospital.
For Stephen M. O'Loughlin, President and COO, Lodging Hospitality Management (LHM), the event knocked a homerun out of the ballpark.
"Tonight is really special for us because it's the grand opening of the Archview Ballroom," said O'Loughlin enthusiastically. "So to do something that is so cutting edge and hip, it's just like being in New York."
O'Loughlin emphasized that in addition to being a fun night for everyone, the proceeds are going to St. Louis Children's Hospital's newborn intensive care unit. "This event probably hit a little bit more home with us as our son was actually in Children's Hospital for six days recently. They took very good care of him and having the proceeds going to them is pretty cool."
After escorting his wife down the red carpet, William P. McNamara, Chairman, Macy's Midwest, said, "One of the most important things for us is to give back something to the community in which we've worked since Macy's came a year ago September. With St. Louis Children's Hospital, I don't know that you can do a whole lot better than that."
McNamara added that Macy's has also been very involved with the schools. "It's what we call 'give-back' opportunities and activities for our people," he said.
"We have a big group that's involved with the Junior Achievement and the Mississippi Valley. Another group teaches in the St. Louis Public Schools where they do after school entrepreneurial programs with high school students. As you know we are also one of many involved in the Susan B Koman Race for the Cure. Our people just love it and there's no twisting of arms," stated McNamara.
Leslie Dimic, President, Friends of St. Louis Children's Hospital, said that the show was going to give them tremendous exposure in the community. "It increases the allegience of the people in the community to St. Louis Children's Hospital. I think it's a great way to broadcast all the services and initiatives the hospital offers. Specifically, this will benefit the NeoNatal Intensive Care Unit, which is very important."
The Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a 75-bed unit consisting of intensive care beds, transitional care beds, and two family participation rooms where parents can stay with their baby before discharge.
The NICU, which is ranked #6 in the country, admits about 700 babies per year. A large portion of the admissions come from within the BJC HealthCare hospitals, however many are also received from all areas of the United States and other countries.
Macy's "Stars on Broadway" Fashion Show will be broadcast on Tuesday, April 22, at 9 p.m. on KMOV Channel 4.
VIP guests at the Macy's "Stars on Broadway" savored hor d'oeuvres, siped cocktails and enjoyed the pulsating sounds of Hot House Sessions during the Pre-Party and the 'Super Star' VIP Post-Party in the new ArchView Ballroom at the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark, with its floor to ceiling windows and stunning view of the St. Louis skyline.
St. Louis native top male model Brad Kroenig appeared with Centro Models wearing a collection of spring fashions from designers including: INC International Concepts, Kensie, Kenneth Cole Reaction, MICHAEL Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger and DKNY Jeans. All fashions are available at area Macy's stores.
