Fashion Show Raises $25,000 for Children's National

On April 7, 2010, Mary Schmidt Amons presented a check for $25,000 to Dr. Richard Jonas to support the Center for Heart, Lung, and Kidney Disease at Children's National. The donation represented the proceeds from Modus Union 2010, a fashion show Amons produced on Jan. 16 at the Mayflower Hotel.

Amons founded Labels for Love, Inc. in 2006, to produce fashion events to raise funds and awareness for the foundation's chosen causes. A mother of five, Amons has developed a passion for making a difference in the lives of women and children.
