Tickets are selling out fast for the Oct. 5 Runway for Rise.
This “frugal but fabulous” event will benefit Rise Above Violence, and you can purchase your tickets online by going to riseaboveviolence.org.
Josie Snow is a second-year Runway veteran and has teamed with Scott Galabota this year.
They explained, “We all must take action to prevent violence in our communities. By having a male model in the show, we aim to demonstrate that both men and women have important voices in the effort to stand against domestic violence, break the cycle of abuse and promote healthy relationships.
“Through our participation with Runway for Rise, we hope to help women in our community harness their strength, courage and independence to create better lives for themselves and for future generations.”
The evening will include a live auction of accessories that each team has generously donated. Our auctioneer, Darren Lewis, will provide encouragement and foster competition for these items. The money raised for each will be applied to team totals to boost their chances of winning the Prada Award.
Last year the bidding was spirited for these imaginative packages. Come prepared to compete with your dollars and take home some baskets of fun.
Teams are very busy asking friends and family to support them with voting dollars between now and Oct. 5.
Go to riseaboveviolence.org to see all the teams participating and vote for your favorites. Each vote is $1, and team donation totals are a secret until the night of the event, so keep voting often.
Your donations support helplines with advocates who help callers work through troubling times. Rise advocates are trained to listen and understand. This free, confidential hotline/helpline is available 24/7 at (970) 264-9075.
Don’t wait to get your ticket for this imaginative evening as seating is limited and we don’t want you to miss the fun. Direct any questions to Event Coordinator Annie Gian at annie@riseaboveviolence.org.
The party has definitely started.
