About this Event

In the early 1950s the fabulous Martha Ann Edwards was a founding member of the Music Academy at Miraflores. She was elegant, sophisticated, intelligent, and knew how incredibly important music education was. Today, we hope to carry on her legacy of generosity and grace by honoring her memory and naming our event after her…thus, One Night In MAE’s Closet was born!

One Night in MAE’s Closet is a special charitable event that aims to promote The Auxiliary’s mission of interconnectedness, inclusivity, and fundraising.

It’s more than just charitable holiday shopping – it is truly about bridging the timeless with the timely, encouraging the merging of generations through fashion and philanthropy, and showcasing the best of what we can all do when we come together for a cause we all collectively love and support.

Swap something fabulous from your closet for a treasure from another’s and enjoy a beautiful evening that has it all; cyclical fashion, art, music, lite bites, cocktails (& mocktails!), glamour, and fun! All profits are donated to the Music Academy via The Auxiliary and help to support the SING! Program.
