New York fashionistas can get away from the city and shop for a good cause at the Harboring Hearts Housing fundraiser at Theory Boutique’s East Hampton location this Saturday, August 21, 2010 from 5-7 p.m. Harboring Hearts is a niche charity that champions a cause that is often overlooked; it’s the only nonprofit organization in New York completely dedicated to providing affordable housing to cardiac disease patients and their caregivers. As those who are fortunate enough to have never had to deal with cardiac disease can imagine, the costs of a heart transplant can be incredibly high. According to Harboring Hearts, the average total cost of a heart transplant is $787,700. And while health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid often defers much of the medical costs for a transplant, add the non-medical financial burden that families face—a hotel if caregivers are not living in New York City, the cost of food because of lack of access to a kitchen, transportation to and from the hospital, child care and the possibility of losing a job—and the cost of a transplant can be inaccessible for many families. Harboring Hearts aims to reduce the financial and emotional burden on cardiac patients and their families by providing resources and affordable, high-quality housing in the New York City area. For fans of Theory Boutique and new shoppers alike, there has never been a better time to start compiling a fall wardrobe than at the Harboring Hearts fundraiser. Guests will receive 10 percent off of their purchases and, an even better reason to shop, 10 percent of the sales from the event will go to Harboring Hearts Housing. And while shopping for a cause is a good enough reason to head to Theory’s East Hampton location this weekend, there are a few extras tossed in. Guests will be treated to complimentary champagne, organic juices from Wellnest in Sag Harbor and snacks, and the Theory staff will be on hand to offer style advice and outfit consultation. Plus, each guest will receive a gift bag. There’s nothing more fashionable than helping a good cause, so for more information about Harboring Hearts Housing  and how to help visit www.
