Ranjana Khan to be honored at CHI Spring Event
Can’t get to South Beach? Come to the next best thing – Children’s Hope India’s much anticipated annual Spring fundraising lunch – Miami Beat! On May 16, over 250 women are expected at this fun event poolside at the beautiful Crest Hollow Country Club in Long Island. Ranjana Khan, the noted designer, will be honored as Woman of Distinction for having achieved success and balanced the worlds of work and family perfectly.
For years Ranjana Khan has applied her vast knowledge of embroideries to create instantly iconic pieces of jewelry and accessories. Born and raised in India, she brings Bombay to New York via Paris, the disparate influences of her life forming an aesthetic that combines hard and soft, dark and light, masculine and feminine, leather and tulle.
The Spring lunch, as every year, brings together many diverse and talented women of all generations so Ranjana Khan’s presence will be a source of inspiration to many emerging women entrepreneurs. Ranjana, who is passionate about supporting young women achieve their goals, has worked with several non-profits including Wishwas, an organization which helps low-income South Asian immigrant women in New York find vocations and become self-supporting.
The Spring luncheon, as always, is focused on the girl child and proceeds will go to help girls in various slum communities in India get vocational training and skill development, ranging from learning English to computers and various professions.
