"AN INVITE
TO FASHION DESIGNERS
Dear
designer,
As you
know, HIV and AIDS still impacts the lives of millions throughout the world
today. Its impact in urban areas is often understated publicly, but the effect
it has on those it touches is profound, transforming lives, destroying health,
and devastating families.
Second
Pride, the organization that creates Second Life's largest pride celebration,
is holding a fundraiser for AIDS Committee of Toronto to raise funds to
increase awareness of the disease, assist those living with HIV, and service
the community, while researching its impact on various segments of society.
WHAT IS
FASHION PRIDE?
Fashion
Pride is an exciting shopping event that will take place from March 10th
through March 17th 2014. It will include fabulous shopping, fashion shows,
entertainment events, and a final art auction to raise funds for both the
Second Pride main festival in June and ACT.
HOW MUCH
WILL IT COST TO BE PART OF FASHION PRIDE?
We are
asking for donations which will purchase your stall space for the duration of
the event. 100% of the store cost will be donated to help Second Pride, an
entirely non-profit organization, hold the pride festival in June. This
important festival helps the LGBT come together for fun, information and
camaraderie. In addition, it provides a Pride event to those who may not be
able to attend one in RL due to real life oppression and animosity. Second Pride webpage (url)
