OSAY at the RISE & Bloom Fashion Show
At OSAY, we believe in the power of second chances and reinvesting in local communities. That’s why we were honored to sponsor and participate in the RISE & Bloom Fashion Show, an unforgettable event celebrating the 40th anniversary of Family Reentry. This special evening brought together fashion, art, and philanthropy to raise funds for vital programs that support individuals as they reenter society after incarceration.
The event was masterfully curated by Vernice Holmes, a celebrated artist and community leader, whose creative vision set the tone for the entire show. Holmes’s deep connection to the community and passion for empowering others made her the perfect choice to lead the event. Her work not only inspired the evening but also symbolized the essence of Family Reentry’s mission—supporting personal transformation and positive change.
Fashion Meets Philanthropy
The RISE & Bloom Fashion Show wasn’t just about fashion—it was a platform for hope. Family Reentry, the host of the event, has spent the last 40 years providing essential services to formerly incarcerated individuals, helping them rebuild their lives through housing, employment support, behavioral health care, and mentoring programs. This milestone event reflected their commitment to adapting and expanding to meet evolving community needs.
OSAY was proud to showcase our Mediterranean-inspired collection alongside Equals Human, a Bronx-based brand rooted in sustainability and community empowerment. Guests had the opportunity to explore both collections, with part of the proceeds going directly to support Family Reentry’s programs. The evening beautifully illustrated how fashion can drive positive impact, blending style with purpose.
A Heartfelt Thank You
We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who attended, shopped, and contributed to this meaningful event. Your support will help Family Reentry continue their life-changing work, providing individuals with the resources they need to thrive.
This event was a powerful reminder that every purchase and act of generosity contributes to a brighter future for our communities. At OSAY, we remain committed to blending craftsmanship with compassion—and we look forward to partnering on more initiatives that empower and uplift.
