for Rock your Rack 2016
ROCK YOUR RACK 2016
October 1 - October 16, 2016
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 event will support the
National Breast Cancer Foundation
which provides free mammograms,
education, support and early detection
services to anyone in need.
The 2016 event involved 63 designers
including Gold Sponsors: AlaFolie,
Athena Couture, Dulce Secrets, Emerald
Couture, Empyrean Forge, LaVian &
Co, Phedora, Prism and Kultivate
Magazine. In addition, this year's event
will feature 2D and 3D artists for the
first time with an Art show sponsored
by Kultivate Magazine. Add to that the
4 Tribute concerts, 12 DJ Dance
Parties, 7 Live Music Artist Shows, 9
Fashion Shows, the 10L Hunt, Silent
Auctions, Art Auction and you have one
must-visit event.
Designers will be providing exclusive

those items going to the National Breast
Cancer Foundation along with a fine
selection of the newest and most
popular designs donating a percentage
as well.

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.
