By WBNG News

BINGHAMTON, NY — The Chabad House of Binghamton University is using fashion to help fight breast cancer.

25 college aged women put on a fashion show at the Chabad House in Vestal, to help raise money for Sharsheret.

It’s a New York based charity that helps women with breast cancer.

Around 300 people came to watch the women model designer clothing.

Local clothing designers and shops sold clothes and jewelry to contribute to the charity.

Chabad Education Director Rivkah Slonim hopes Fashion for a Cure helps promote breast cancer awareness.

“We’re always looking to do social action with our students. This is a great way for them to put their talents into something that will generate funds for a very important organization and actually save lives. It’s educational. It’s fun,” said Rivkah Slonim, the Chabad Education Director.

Slonim expected the event to raise a few thousand dollars.

    Grow up…All of us know the internet can be treif, dont have it if you dont like it!!!! AND, I dont know about you, how about Dam L’chaf Zechus, you dont know what the women were wearing. Grow up, get a life, and dont live in a bubble. I am sure the Shliach and his wife knew what they were doing. How many of you became frum through a college Chabad House? Lets give the Rebbe nachas and have some ahavas yisroel and judge our fellow jew with favoritism. Grow up.
