L’Occitane event

This bath and body brand is partnering with the American Foundation for the Blind to showcase a sensory exhibit (on view Thursday 9–October 26) celebrating Helen Keller’s life. Stop by the launch party on Thursday for gratis wine, hors d’oeuvres and a swag bag. Shoppers can also purchase a Braille-embossed Shea Butter Solidarity Soap ($3), with all proceeds to finance nonprofits such as Sightsavers and Vision Aid Overseas to continue work on eye-health projects in developing countries. R.S.V.P. is required, so reserve your spot via phone prior to the event.
