Drapers editorial director backs FTCT

Eric MusgraveDrapers editorial director, Eric Musgrave, recently announced the news that FTCT would be chosen charity for the 2013 Drapers Awards. In the same article, Eric revealed his personal reasons for supporting FTCT. 

“Not long ago, a distant contact of my own family was a beneficiary of a grant that positively changed the life of a teenager who had been dealt a rough hand”, commented Eric. ”The FTCT does really great work and I hope attendees at our awards really get behind the charity’s fundraising efforts.”

We are so grateful to Eric for his support of our work. It means so much for FTCT to have the backing of the Drapers editorial team not only at the awards, but through their on-going editorial and advertorial support, bringing FTCT closer to families in this industry, who need our help.
