Even with the forecast of rain, the Junior League of Bronxville hosted yet another successful Trails to Treasures event raising $50,000.

This year was no different and included new faces shopping for the perfect Mother’s Day gift.

Fewer vendors than previous years set the tone for a more intimate shopping experience in six beautiful Bronxville homes. Including one magnificent home currently on the market for $4,375,000. Shoppers were able to take in the details of each home as well as the merchandise. “This year's event showcased exciting local vendors in some fantastic Bronxville homes. The JLB would like to thank not only attendees, but the gracious homeowners who opened their houses for such a worthy event. Proceeds from Trails to Treasures help support our outreach and training programs that promote our mission of developing the potential of women and our vision of stamping out hunger in Southern Westchester.” Said Amy Korb, JLB President.
