Sarah Jessica Parker and Caroline Kennedy appeared together Wednesday afternoon for the kickoff of the "Shop for Public Schools" fundraiser that will benefit New York City area schools.

At Wednesday's event, Sarah Jessica commented that the ongoing event is "a great opportunity for all New Yorkers to get involved," according to the Associated Press.

"Shop for Public Schools," which began in 2004, started when a collection of retailers approached Kennedy, who is the vice-chair of The Fund for Public Schools, asking how they could help. The Fund for Public Schools has raised over $230 million for New York public schools since its inception in 2002.
