Marmi Fundraising Party for Forte Animal Rescue

Marmi, the fabulous shoe store in Marina Waterside, will be hosting a fundraiser for Forte Animal Rescue on Wednesday, April 25, 2012, from 6 to 9 p.m.

Just in time to celebrate Mother’s Day and Her Majesty the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Marmi will host an evening of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and shopping.  Marmi is the ultimate spot for women’s shoes, as well as other accessories such as handbags and hats. Guests will receive a 10 percent discount on all merchandise, and Marmi will graciously donate 10 percent of all sales during the party to Forte Animal Rescue.

Forte Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer organization, and 100 percent of donations will go directly to animal care.  Enjoy an evening of shopping as well as helping a great cause!
