12th Annual Rock Your Rack Event is on the way! October 4th-October 13th!

Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 13% of women, and an ever-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, Dance 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 we have two amazing SIM sponsors:  Playdolls Magazine and The Fae Folk.  The Fae Folk have decorated the landing point in our "Walking on Sunshine" theme, and I can tell you it looks fantastic!  Thank you to the Fae Folk, and especially landscape designer Henna Wylder (Natearie) for the design.

This year's sponsors include The Best of SL, BOSLArts, Chef's House, Dark Star Radio, Kultivate Magazine and Galleries, Perverts of the Carribean, PurpleMoon, Rapture, and WIC Foods.

Thank you to our Media sponsors as well for getting the word out:  Attention SL, BOSL Magazine, Grid Affairs, Kultivate Magazine, Hostcrate, Media SL, ModeLS Magazine, SUGAR, The SL Enquirer, The Biology club and XRadio SL.  

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. 

Designers will be providing limited edition creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest, exclusive and most popular designs for your shopping pleasure.  And, of course, the very popular 10L hunt will be up and running in the 60+ different designer booths and 30+ different artist booths. 

For a complete listing of events and more details on this year's event, please visit the website:  http://rockyourrack.org

The event officially opens to the public on Friday, October 4, 2024, at 12:00 am SLT and will close at 11:59 pm SLT on Sunday, October 13, 2024.
