On Saturday April 9, 2016 through my latest creation “Lifestyle By Amans Brindled” I coordinated a popup fashion event at Bachrach located in the Quakerbridge Mall.

This event was the second of its kind with Bachrach and I look forward to more Fashion related projects as I continue to expand the brand.

This year’s event brought together a group of “doers” and “achievers” making strides in various areas including Educators, Artists and Technology Entrepreneurs. 

Here is the list of ’16 Participants

Adrian Colon Comedian / Actor

Jesse Elliot Singer / Songwriter

James Freeman Educator / Jazz Promoter

Tony Goggles Filmmaker/Musician

Byron Marshall Jr. Performing Artist
Karey Maurice Artist of Red Balloon Studio

Adam Porroni Code For Trenton 
Rich Scannella Musician / Educator
Bobbi Skratch Performing Artist
Eric Thomas Educator / Percussionist

Music was provided by Ahmad Shakir aka DJ ITSJUSTAHMAD and photo documentation by Jeff Stewart and Will Foskey.

Store leaders Jason Jones and Allan Pechko exemplify Bachrach through service and style.

“Established in 1877, Bachrach is a tradition of fashionable clothing for the everyday man. We strive to be a customer first company, offering affordable prices on quality clothing and great customer service.”

“With 32 retail locations nationwide and growing, our mentality is that of a neighborhood clothier: friendly and considerate. We see ourselves as your neighbor and we’re always here to help.”

I look forward to seeing the progress of Bachrach making the everyday man look his best with a diverse collection of both dressy and casual fashion.

“Be Strong, Confident, and Sharp - Bachrach”

Each Participant received a gift bag with items from;

Hot Sauce 4 Good

PEI Kids is a non-profit organization based in Lawrenceville NJ with a focus on Children.

http://www.peikids.org/

The Mission Statement reads:

 PEI Kids is dedicated to promoting and maintaining a safe environment for all children. PEI Kids works with the child, family, and caregiver to provide prevention, intervention, and advocacy programs relating to personal safety, sexual abuse, and the overall well-being of the child.

The organization operates in several categories:

• Prevention Education
• Intervention Services
• Support Services
• Workshops & Support Groups

This organization focuses on the Mercer County Region however they make it a point to be known that they will not turn away a child!

I was unfamiliar with the organization before my friend Jesse Elliot took a position with the organization as the Developmental & Public Relations Coordinator.

I met Jesse several years ago through a friend who is an entrepreneur in the Trenton NJ region.  He suggested that I meet this young man whom he thought was very special.  After meeting and spending time with Jesse I knew he was the type of young person every city going through a “renaissance” needs; civically engaged, believes in community, educated at a higher level, appreciator of arts & culture, action driven, family focused etc.  So when Jesse contacted me and said he was looking for a gig at a local non-profit and would I be a reference I said for sure! 

My relationship with the organization continues to grow as I volunteer on the committees that organize two annual fundraising events, a springtime “Dinner & Auction” and in the fall season a “Wine & Food Tasting.”

In closing my relationship with PEI kids is growing because of my relationship with Jesse that developed because of a suggestion from a respected friend.  I hope this encourages you to share your thoughts with others, to support the efforts of someone and to get involved in the process of making the community better.

Have a listen to my interview with Roz Dashiell the Executive Director and Jack Donnelly who volunteers on the committees with me.
