Even the guys are getting on board for the inaugural Runway for Rise on Sept. 30.
The Radical, Radiant Rotarians are just one of our amazing teams competing for the highly anticipated Pagosa Prada Award.
How will they win that? First their friends, family, neighbors and even perfect strangers will go to riseaboveviolence.org/runway-for-rise and vote for them. Votes are $1 each and you can vote as many times, for as many teams as you like. At the event on Sept. 30, guests will vote with their dollars for their creation modeled by a team member. (Who knows which Radiant Rotarian will model?) Their special accessory will be auctioned off to the highest bidder and any team sponsorship they receive will be added to their votes. The final tally will reveal the winning team that takes home the Pagosa Prada Award that night.
Tickets to the event will go on sale in two weeks. Reserved seats for $75 and general admission for $50 will be offered. Watch The SUN for more details in coming weeks.
Adding to the excitement before the event is our Online Runway Wine Pull.
Feeling lucky? Visit the website riseaboveviolence.org/runway-for-rise and buy your tickets for $50 each. Your secret bottles of wine will range in value from $25 up to $80 plus. You could score a high-dollar wine while supporting critical local services.
