In
celebration of the 27th annual Black & White Party, AFAN joins retailer
Macy's and Vegas/Rated magazine on a search to find Las Vegas' "Black
& White Fashion Icon."
Beginning
today through Friday, July 5, AFAN will be accepting photo submissions of those
sporting the most fashion-forward and unique black and white outfits by email
at icon@afanlv.org. The top five submissions - as selected by a committee
consisting of AFAN, Macy's and Vegas/Rated representatives - will be featured
in a fashion spread in Vegas/Rated's August issue and compete for the chance to
win a $1,000 gift cart to Macy's at Fashion Show Mall awarded at the Black
& White Party on Saturday, Aug. 24 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
The five
finalists will be announced on Monday, July 8, and will begin soliciting the
city for votes. With a fashion focus, the contest also serves as an innovative
fundraiser for AFAN with each vote costing $1. Votes are submitted online
at bit.ly/BWIconVoteup until Black & White Party when finalists will
canvas the venue advocating for cash votes.
"Finding
that perfect signature black and white look has become everyone's favorite part
of Black & White Party," said Earl Shelton, director of development of
AFAN. "We're giving our most trendy party goers a chance to show off their
high sense of fashion while supporting AFAN."
Proud
supporters of AFAN's mission, Vegas/Rated magazine will feature the top five
finalists in a lavish fashion spread in their August issue where they will be
outfitted by Macy's.
Over
the last 31 years, the Macy's Passport Fund has granted more than $32 million
to HIV/AIDS organizations thanks to the Macy's Foundation and its generous
associates and customers.
From
July 22 to Aug. 16, shoppers are encouraged to shop, save and support AFAN by
purchasing a Macy's Glam Pass. With the
$10 donation, shoppers receive an all-day savings pass for an extra 15 to 20%
off, plus a special bounce back offer for $10 off the next $50 purchase. From
every Glam Pass purchase, $5 will benefit the Macy's Passport Fund, which
provides grants for local agencies that serve those affected by HIV/AIDS,
including AFAN.
Black
& White Party will be held at Hard Rock Hotel's Paradise Beach on Saturday,
Aug. 24 from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. and boasts a unique experience of festivities,
celebrations and revelry complete with gourmet food, beverage samplings,
eye-catching atmospheric entertainment and live stage performances. As the
largest non-profit supporting the HIV/AIDS community in Nevada, 100 percent of
proceeds from the evening go to support HIV/AIDS services.

$100 per ticket and include early entry to the event at 8 p.m. with first
