The Fashion and Retail Group (née Apparel Industries Group) was created in 1995 with the merger of two of City of Hope’s oldest and most dedicated auxiliaries — The Merchants Club and Professions and Finance Associates. This union brought together leaders from all facets of the apparel industry who are committed to supporting the crucial and life-saving work done by the doctors and researchers at City of Hope. With its combined efforts, the Fashion and Retail Group has raised over $40 million dollars for City of Hope.
By joining the two groups’ talents and resources, the group continues to build a new and strong foundation of philanthropy.
