A Rally with a Cause.
This past weekend, A&B attended the “Rally for Kids with Cancer” in Chicago. Rally drivers were challenged to raise at least $25,000 in order to draft a celebrity navigator to help them “race” around the city and complete challenges at multiple pit stops. Participating celebrities included Giuliana and Bill Rancic of E!, Scottie Pippen- former Chicago Bulls star, Bai Ling- actress, Eric Roberts- actor, as well as many others. Astor & Black donated free custom-made shirts to all participants, as well as a gift card for a custom suit, 3 custom shirts, a cashmere sweater, and handmade tie for the winner of the rally. Brandon Bowers and Patrick Coates (A&B clothiers, Chicago) were on site to take measurements for the participants in the gifting suite, and Brandon even got to participate in the rally along with A&B client, Neil Farrell and celebrity navigator, Jessie Camancho- actress. This charitable weekend ended with a star-studded gala at the Marriot right on the Magnificent Mile in downtown Chicago.
The Rally will also be held in Los Angeles, Miami, and Toronto, all 3 of which A&B is looking forward to being a part of!
