Aid
for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN) is partnering with Macy's to bring back the popular
"Fashion Icon" award in celebration of the 29th Annual Black &
White Party.
Now
through July 12, the public can nominate fashionable friends, family and
co-workers (or themselves) by emailing a photo and 200-word essay to
events@afanlv.org. The top five finalists will be announced on July 15 and
featured in a Vegas Seven fashion spread with clothing from Macy's, along with
a personal stylist and makeup artist during the shoot. The public will then
vote from Aug. 1-29 for their best-dressed choice at Gay.Vegas and the finalist
with the most votes will win a $500 Macy's gift card. Each of the four runner
ups will receive a $100 Macy's gift card.
The
Black & White Party will be held on Saturday, Aug. 29 at The Joint at Hard
Rock Hotel & Casino 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 AFAN's client services. Tickets are on
sale now at afanlv.org.
Over
the last 32 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.
