ABG Goes for the Gold
Authentic Brands Group kicked off the season of giving with two back-to-back galas in support of the U.S. Ski Team and Delivering Good.
ABG Brands Take Home the Gold at US Ski Team's Annual Gold Medal Gala
Members of the U.S. Ski Team were outfitted in Brooks Brothers, Hervé Léger, Nine West and Vince Camuto for the 55th annual New York Gold Medal Gala. The event raised a record-breaking $1.7 million for year-round athlete training, development, competition and educational needs. As the team’s largest fundraising event, the gala’s proceeds will support the athletes on their journey to the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing.
Dressed head-to-toe in Vince Camuto, keynote speaker, two-time Olympic champion and six-time world champion Mikaela Shiffrin auctioned off her FIS Ski World Cup leader bib from her recent victory in Soelden, Austria.
Additionally, American freestyle skier and television presenter Jonny Moseley looked dapper in a Brooks Brothers suit, while World Cup alpine ski racer Alice Merryweather stunned in an Hervé Léger dress and Nine West heels.
As a corporate giver to this year's Delivering Good Gala, ABG sponsored a cocktail hour and donated special items and experiences from Judith Leiber, Sports Illustrated, Volcom and more for the silent auction. Bid on the luxury packages here through November 12. Proceeds go to the nonprofit, which supports people affected by poverty and disaster worldwide.
