“We are honored to be a part of the UNITE Valentine’s Day fashion show,” Magic Silk President Jeff Baker said. “As a lingerie manufacturer, we feel the responsibility to be involved with efforts to fund breast cancer awareness and research. UNITE has performed wonderful fundraising work for different charities, and we are happy to be supporting such an important cause.”

The fashion show will be held Feb. 14 at 7 p.m., at the Maritime Hotel in New York City. The event is open to the public, and admission is a $10 minimum donation per person with proceeds benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure to fund breast cancer research.
