BerkChique! was founded in 2012 by Nancy Fitzpatrick as a fun way for regional patrons to clear out and/or update their closets and support important organizations.

BerkChique! has benefited and continues to benefit many other regional non-profits through the donation of clothing and/or funds, including the Berkshire Humane Society, Berkshire Botanical Garden, Berkshire Creative/1Berkshire, Community Access to the Arts (CATA), Goodwill Industries of the Berkshires, Berkshire Art Center and WAM Theatre.

For its 9th year, BerkChique! is presented by and in support of the Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum, but will continue its long-held tradition of supporting other important area non-profits through the donation of clothing and/or funds.
