Damien Center Fundraiser

One of the greatest benefits of my job is to be able to participate in some wonderful fundraisers that benefit important causes. I got to do just that this past weekend- hosting the first ever Rock Your Style For AIDS Sake Fashion Show and Art Auction for the Damien Center. Event Planner Takara Wiles made sure that everyone was there to have a great time.

There was an amazing red carpet arrival.

Red Carpet Arrival

Everyone dressed to impress and was greeted with a glass of champagne to toast the night.

The fashions were amazing. Men's clothing provided by Jos. A Bank and women's clothing provided by Saratoga Trunk.  Can I just say I fell in love with Saratoga Trunk Natalie Sillery!

This woman shined not only as the stylist for all the women but she also commentated the whole fashion show! I hope to wear her fashions one day! WOW.

While this was a night of celebration it was underscored by tragedy. The Damien Center in Albany provides support and services to people living with HIV/AIDS. It suffered a major fire back in August. The building and all of its contents are a total loss. Since then they have been working out of a temporary location at the First Lutheran Church.

The money raised will help the center get back on its feet. There is a long way to go- but the hope is the money raised through the raffle items and the art auction will help speed the process along.
