Enjoy a holiday fashion show and support Chester Eastside. Children and adults from our programs will walk the main floor red carpet in festive fashions selected by Macy’s Springfield personal stylist Tara Alsaadi, who be available for consultation after the show.

Guests can also help fulfill holiday wishes for our kids. Pre-selected gifts matched with the children’s requests will be available for purchase as part of Macy’s Gives Back. Each gift will be tagged with the youngster’s first name and wish list item to offer a connection between the donor and the happy face on Christmas morning.

The fashion show will also have raffle baskets. To reserve your seat and raffle tickets, email Alsaadi at taghrid.alsaadi@macys.com. Walk-ins are welcome.
