LENOX, Mass. — BerkChique!, a pop-up fashion re-sale fundraiser, returns to Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum for a third consecutive year, on June 5, 6, and 7.
 
Now in its 11th season, BerkChique! offers a  community-powered alternative to the traditional fundraiser: a pop-up boutique filled with upscale, rack-ready clothing and accessories sourced from closets in the Berkshires—often featuring designer and one-of-a-kind finds at accessible prices.
 
The weekend kicks off with BerkChique!'s famed VIP "First Dibs" Shopping Party on Friday, June 5, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.—an evening with priority-access shopping and complimentary refreshments. 
 
Free weekend shopping will follow: Saturday, June 6 (10 a.m.–4 p.m.) and Sunday, June 7 (10 a.m.–2 p.m.), with admission free for all shoppers.
 
Proceeds benefit Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum and additional local nonprofit beneficiaries including WAM Theatre, Berkshire Humane Society, Community Access to the Arts (CATA), and Berkshire Art Center.
 
Founded in 2012 by Vicki Bonnington and Nancy Fitzpatrick, BerkChique! was conceived as an inventive way for donors to refresh their closets while directly fueling local causes.
 
BerkChique! will feature Bonnington Collection. A curated "shop-within-the-shop" featuring Vicki Bonnington's own designer clothing and accessories.
