July 22nd at the DKNY store on Madison Avenue in New York City, 25 of the wives, fiancés & girlfriends of the Yankee professional baseball players rounded up to raise money for the Catch 25 charity.

Kim Giardi (wife of Joe Giardi) hosted a private DKNY Fall fashion show and shopping event with a portion of the proceeds benefiting her and her husband’s charity, the Catch 25 Foundation. Over $40,000 was generated in under an hour with 10% of the evening’s sales going back to the charity.  New York women love to shop and it certainly scored a homerun in my book!

Key attendees included Laura Posada (wife of Jorge Posada), Joanna Garcia (engaged to Nick Swisher & coming out with her own show Better With You which premiers this Fall on ABC. Most people know her from Gossip Girl as Nate’s love interest), and Erin Robertson (wife of David Robertson).
