Donna Karan’s Urban Zen Foundation is coming
together with the Los Angeles-based Real
Medicine Foundation to help people in need of
humanitarian aid around the world. On August
22, Urban Zen will host a special event at their
Sag Harbor location to introduce and raise
awareness about Real Medicine and their global
relief projects. The event will take place
from 5-7PM at 4 Bay Street, Sag Harbor, New York
11963.
Created by fashion designers Donna Karan and
Sonja Nuttall in 2006, the Urban Zen Foundation
creates, connects, and collaborates to raise
awareness and inspire change in the areas of
well-being, preserving cultures, and empowering
children. They design forums, partner with
existing organizations and bring together
experts to define solutions and implement
action.
“We are excited about the opportunity to work
alongside Urban Zen Foundation since our
organizations’ approach applying holistic
solutions is very much in alignment,” said Dr.
Martina Fuchs, Founder of Real Medicine.
At the gala event, Real Medicine will be selling
photography of their work around the world,
DVD’s on plant based nutrition, and T-shirts.
All proceeds will support Real Medicine and
Urban Zen’s global humanitarian work.
