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 creations with 100% of the sales
of 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.
