Versace Luncheon
Knocking Out Domestic Violence with Style

Knock Out Abuse gala chairs Holidae Hayes, Cheryl Masri and Jill Robert hosted a luncheon and fashion show with stylishly dressed male models on September 10 at the Versace boutique in Chevy Chase. Guests previewed the designer’s fall and winter collections, and discovered a surprise under their seats: a Versace gift certificate for $100 (which nearly everyone put to good use after lunch). Ten percent of everything purchased at the lunch benefited Knock Out Abuse Against Women. Lucky lady Pamela Aparicio, wife of Bolivian Ambassador Jaime Aparicio, got a bonus prize underneath her chair— a gorgeous pair of Versace pearl and diamond earrings worth $5,000!
