Helping
someone in our community find work is always in fashion.
That’s
why Goodwill of Southern Nevada is proud to announce its inaugural The Blue
Party, an evening of original runway fashion, art and live music under the
stars outside Mundo Restaurant at the World Market Center in downtown Las Vegas
on Thursday, May 22, 2014. Doors open at
6 p.m.
The
Blue Party will showcase seven local up-and-coming local fashion designers who
will premiere their one-of-a-kind-collections using reimagined and repurposed
Goodwill merchandise during a live runway fashion show.
Participating
designers are: Mitch Atkinson, Carlos
Bruce, Maria Bruce, Tiffany M. Lewis, Aldo Mencatto, Wanda Merrit, and Glen
Wright. Each designer will also offer
personalized fashion experiences during a special live auction.
After
the runway show, guests are invited to stay for a complimentary After Party
featuring live music by local artists Yvonne Silva, Silversage and Jesse
Pino.
The
night will also include a silent auction featuring local artists’
reinterpretation of Goodwill merchandise and traditional items, as well as
several vendor booths for fashionistas to shop.
The
Blue Party is hosted by the Goodwill Ambassador Council and will include passed
appetizers and select alcohol generously donated by Mundo – a Latin Chic
Restaurant. Sandee Madrid and Bojo Ackah
of KLUC, 98.5FM will emcee the night’s events.
All
proceeds raised at The Blue Party will benefit Goodwill’s mission of assisting
people in Southern Nevada find employment, no matter circumstance or
disability. In 2013, Goodwill of
Southern Nevada helped more than 2,000 people find employment at a variety of
businesses.
“When
you purchase an item at a Goodwill retail store or donate it to a Goodwill
donation center, you are giving that item a second life,” said Steve Chartrand,
President & CEO of Goodwill of Southern Nevada. “But you are also giving someone
in our community a second chance because our stores fund Goodwill’s free job
placement and training services. The
Blue Party is a true celebration of what Goodwill does.”
Tickets
start at only $25, per person.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available.
