ROCK YOUR RACK 2016
October 1 - October 16
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 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 4th annual event will support the
National Breast Cancer Foundation
providing mammograms, education, support and
early detection services to anyone in need.

involves 63 designers including 9 Gold sponsors:
AlaFolie, Athena Couture, Dulce Secrets, Emerald Couture,

Along with these designers, 14 DJ's, 11 Live Musicians,
22 2D/3D artists, and 22 models will participate in the two week long event.
Events during the fundraiser include 9 fashion shows,
11 live musical concerts, 12 DJ dance parties, a 10L Hunt,
Two Silent Auction areas, an Art Exhibit organized by Kultivate magazine,

and set out to lead the models that were already a part
of the former agency into new and bigger endeavors
at the newly created Models Giving Back.
To date the agency has partnered with dozens of designers and
provided models for runway, print and other functions

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.
