Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 1 in 8 women, and an every 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 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's event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation which provides free mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need. In 2017 we were happy to donate over $1200USD to this organization via Rock Your Rack 2017.
Events during the fundraiser include fashion shows,live musical concerts, DJ dance parties, a 10L Hunt, and an art exhibit and auction hosted by Windlight Magazine. Designers will be providing exclusive and limited edition creations with 100% of the sales of those limited edition items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest and most popular designs.
For a complete listing of events and more details on this year's event, please visit the website: http://rockyourrack.wordpress.
Designer Registration is now open. Blogger, Artist and Musician Registration will open this summer via our website as well, so watch for details.
Together we can make a difference!

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation
The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34. At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options. After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need. This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.
