Thursday, May 8th, 2008, Judith Ripka Store, 673 Madison Avenue, New York City, NY. JUDITH RIPKA Celebrates Mother's Day with ARTRAGEOUS. Debra Wasser invited friends to a Private Preview of Judith Ripka's spring/summer collections at Judith's elaborate Madison Avenue Store. Debra called the event 18k Couture & Champagne. Guests delighted in the beauty of the new collection while sipping champagne and enjoying chocolate covered strawberries. 10% of sales were graciously donated to ArtRageous, a fundraising event benefiting Edwin Gould Services for Children and Families (EGSCF). EGSCF is a non-profit organization that has been serving and protecting children residing in foster care in NYC for more than 75 years. The evening was a successful turn out of ArtRageous supporters and fans of Judith Ripka's creations. An amusing highlight occurred when Jennifer Miller, jewelry designer, won a Signature Solitare Diamond Necklace from from the evenings raffle.
