Rock Your Rack

 ROCK YOUR RACK 2020

October 3, 2020 - October 18, 2020

8th Annual Rock Your Rack Event is on the way!

Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 1 in 8 women, and an every increasing percentage of men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.

Models Giving Back is pleased to present Rock Your Rack, an annual fundraising event combining the best of SL Music, Art and Fashion to support the work of breast cancer charities and raise awareness for early detection which is critical to a positive outcome for this devastating disease.

This Year's Sim Sponsor is Digital Farm Systems.  Other sponsors include Dark Betty, Darstar's Speakeasy, Designs by Soosy, NY NY PIano Lounge, Rapture and SWANK Events. 

Thank you to our Media sponsors as well for getting the word out:  BOSL, BOSLArts, Focus Magazine, Grid Affairs and Kultivate Magazine. 

This year's event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation which provides free mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need. 

Designers will be providing limited edition creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest, exclusive and most popular designs for your shopping pleasure.  And, of course, the very popular 10L hunt will be up and running in the 65+ different designer booths and 35+ different artist booths. 

For a complete listing of events and more details on this year's event, please visit the website:  http://rockyourrack.wordpress.com 

The event officially opens to the public on Saturday, October 3, 2020 at 12:00 am SLT and will close at 11:59 pm SLT on Sunday, October 18, 2020.

Together we can make a difference!

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation

The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail.  She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34.  At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options.  After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.  NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need.  This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.
