Deluxe bar, 4 course meal, entertainment, live and silent auction,

Marilyn believes in young people and has worked in a variety of ways to nurture their creativity and to channel it to help them market their designs. A fifteen-year supporter of the "Co-operative Education" program for high schools in the Toronto area, she and her team train and mentor students, giving them the needed confidence and direction prior to entering their first year of college. An enthusiastic teacher and lecturer over the decades, she was a member of the Advisory Board of Seneca College from 1973 to 1979 and currently is a member of the Advisory Board of Ryerson Polytechnic University's School of Fashion. Active in her own community, she successfully produced the Cabbagetown Fashion Event to benefit the Youth Centre for nine consecutive years and in 1998, she received their first Volunteer Award. Generous to many charities, which call upon her, Marilyn was made an Honorary Big Brother for her contribution during the seventies to their fundraising efforts. She was also the honorary chair of Parkinson's famous fund-raiser, the Cut-a-thon, from 1990 to 1996 and participated in the Pitch-in for Parkinson's with the Toronto Blue Jays. Marilyn worked with UNICEF to develop products that could be sold world-wide and has participated in all twelve annual Fashion Cares events for the fight against AIDS.
