BALTIMORE - Marylandian -- The Fashion Umbrella Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization focusing on the well-being of youth and supporting members of the arts community.

When the pandemic hit the Foundation, it created a platform to generate reoccurring revenue to provide a financial cushion for programs of the Fashion Umbrella Foundation, Inc.

The Fashion Umbrella Foundation, Inc. realized that fashion would be a great way to raise money to support its programs and clothe individuals while uplifting self-esteem. The Carter Kennedy Showroom (CK Showroom) is an online art showroom representing the fashion and arts community.

"During the pandemic, sadness erupted as my board members and I were constantly in think mode to find a way to keep the organization and our programs alive. Being a part of the fashion and arts community, creating an online showroom (boutique) was the best option," stated Sharan Nixon, Founder and Chief Volunteer of the Fashion Umbrella Foundation, Inc.
