For Moms: Fashion designer Nanette Lepore stops in Raleigh for local bike charity event

I thought I'd highlight this event that's best for moms (and dads), but supports a great local group that raises money to buy new bikes and helmets for local kids.

Fashion designer Nanette Lepore will make her first visit to the Triangle for a fashion show and personal fittings at Saks Fifth Avenue at Triangle Town Center in north Raleigh. Ten percent of the store's sales for the day and a matching 10 percent from Nanette Lepore will be donated to Triangle Spokes Group, a local nonprofit.

The event is noon to 4 p.m., Saturday. The fashion show starts at 1 p.m. There are a limited number of front row VIP seats, which are available for just a $25 donation to Triangle Spokes. Each seat will have a swag bag with some Saks and Nanette Lepore goodies inside.
