Fashion Publicist Sonia Hendrix of PUSH Productions based in Asheville North Carolina has announced this week that she is giving a $500 donation to the Jewish Community Center’s (JCC) 2nd annual Fashion Revival: Project Runway.

Hendrix said, “This donation is about giving to an organization that has been a long-time fixture in our city, giving freely to those who need it, while also creating fun events that support the local fashion industry. The spirit of my agency is to build platforms for local designers and models to cultivate their skill sets and to help those artists gain exposure on a national level. I love what the JCC has done here by combining its mission to cultivate both community and fashion. We’re proud to be a sponsor!”
