Claire’s Place Foundation & Buffalo Exchange Host Fundraising Pop-Up Featuring Actor Haley Lu Richardson’s Clothing
Special Sweepstakes offers fans a chance to win Haley Lu’s iconic crocheted sweater from Five Feet Apart
Los Angeles, CA, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Claire’s Place Foundation, a nonprofit organization providing support to children and families affected by cystic fibrosis (CF), is teaming up with Buffalo Exchange, a pioneer in sustainable fashion known for its buy-sell-trade model that extends the life of clothing, for a special two-day fundraising pop-up event featuring items from actor Haley Lu Richardson’s personal closet.
On Saturday, November 22, and Sunday, November 23, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Buffalo Exchange's Melrose location will open its doors to host this exclusive shopping experience. All proceeds from the sale of Haley Lu Richardson’s clothing and accessories will benefit Claire’s Place Foundation.
“We are so grateful to Haley and Buffalo Exchange for turning style into support,” said Executive Director of Claire’s Place Foundation Melissa Yeager. “Claire always believed in using creativity and community to make a difference, and this event captures that spirit perfectly. Every purchase helps us support CF families.”
"We've been fans of Haley Lu’s since her iconic role as Portia in The White Lotus,” said Buffalo Exchange CEO Rebecca Block. “Her on-screen outfits were so fun and I remember people online saying that it seemed like she shopped at Buffalo Exchange. Now that we’re hosting Haley’s closet pop-up sale in the real world, it feels like a full-circle moment. Giving back is central to our mission, so we’re really excited to partner with Claire’s Place Foundation to fundraise with fashion and support their life-changing work.”
Haley’s continued support for Claire’s Place includes a sweepstakes to win the one-of-a-kind crocheted sweater she made and wore as Stella in Five Feet Apart, a character inspired by Claire Wineland, the foundation’s late founder.
“While going through my stuff, I found one of the most special pieces, a chunky gray crocheted sweater I made for my character Stella in Five Feet Apart,” said Haley Lu Richardson. “It’s a really meaningful piece, and I’ve always wanted Melissa, Claire’s mom, to have it. Now she finally does, and she’s holding a sweepstakes, so if you enter, the sweater could be yours. All of the proceeds go to Claire’s Place Foundation, and I hope whoever gets it loves it as much as I did, and as much as Stella did.”
