Woodmere Fitness Club and Emunah of America are partnering with Front Row Apparel and Bari Lynn Patches for a skirt decorating event to benefit Emunah on April 10, from 4:30-8:30 p.m. at the Woodmere Fitness Club.

Women and girls of all ages will have the opportunity to buy a Front Row Apparel Skirt and decorate them with Bari Lynn Patches, to benefit Emunah’s Achuzat Sarah Residence Home.

Front Row Apparel owner Raina Butler Koren designed the skirts as athleisure wear for the modern, modest, Jewish woman. With Bari Lynn Patches, you can personalize your one-of-a-kind skirt, made from breathable, flexible, and moisture-wicking fabric, staying cool and covered. The skirt can be worn year round, is waterproof, and is perfect for the gym or as causal wear.

As an added bonus, for every skirt purchased from Front Row Apparel, Butler Koren will donate a skirt to a girl in an Emunah residence, doubling your impact. Proceeds from the sale will benefit Emunah’s Achuzat Sarah Residence Home.

Orel Nissan, a graduate of an Emunah residence, will speak to the girls about her experience with Emunah. Orel recently finished her service in the army, and currently studies in Tel Aviv University. Orel’s story is one of perseverance and resilience and is an inspiration.

The event is part of an ongoing collaboration with Emunah and Woodmere Fitness Club. Together they have raised over $100,000 during previous fitness fundraisers for Emunah.

Butler Koren’s involvement in Emunah stems from her grandmother, Myrna Zisman, Emunah’s ambassador at large and a devoted lifelong supporter of Emunah. Myrna was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at Emunah’s 2018 annual dinner and founded the Leibel, a’h, & Myrna Zisman Center for Torah and Art Study.

Butler Koren is also inspired by Inna Koppel, her mentor and owner of Woodmere Fitness Club, who has partnered with Emunah Achuzat Sarah for many years and has donated an indoor gym and outdoor basketball court.
