MCF Champions of Education Benefit: Red Carpet, Dinner, and Fashion Show in the Hamptons

The MacDella Cooper Foundation hosted an evening of fashion and fundraising on July 25 in the Hamptons. Following an afternoon polo match, guests walked the red carpet, dined, and enjoyed presentations and an exclusive fashion show at Four Seasons Caterer. 100% of proceeds from the evening supported the MCF Academy, the first tuition-free school in post-war Liberia, which will open in Fall 2010.
