BerkChique! at Ventfort Hall: A Responsible Approach to Fashion and Philanthropy

LENOX, MA – Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum is proud to announce the return of BerkChique!, a unique community-driven event focused on sustainability and support for local non-profits. This pop-up boutique will be hosted from April 26th to 28th at Ventfort Hall, 104 Walker St., Lenox, Massachusetts, marking an essential calendar event for those committed to responsible fashion and charitable giving.

This year, Ventfort Hall itself joins as a principal sponsor and beneficiary, aligning with the event's ethos of community engagement and cultural preservation.

Donation Appeal: Sustainable Fashion Choices

As the season changes, we invite community members to reevaluate their wardrobes. Items that are no longer in use – provided they are in good condition and wearable – can be donated to BerkChique!. These contributions embody a sustainable approach to fashion, reducing waste and promoting recycling, while also supporting vital local causes.

Supporting Local Non-Profits: A Collective Effort

Proceeds from BerkChique! are allocated to several local non-profits, exemplifying the event's commitment to community welfare. This year's beneficiaries include:

- Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum

- Berkshire Art Center

- Berkshire Humane Society & Catwalk Boutique

- Community Access to the Arts (CATA)

- WAM Theatre

This initiative reflects a collective effort to bolster local non-profit organizations, contributing significantly to the region's cultural and social fabric.
