PHOENIX FASHION WEEK PRESENTS FASHIONABLY PINK CELEBRITY RUNWAY SHOW BENEFITING LOCAL BREAST CANCER CHARITY ‘DON’T BE A CHUMP CHECK FOR A LUMP’

Breast cancer survivors and celebrities take the runway for a night of fashionable giving at Talking Stick Resort on October 5th as the kickoff to Phoenix Fashion Week 

Phoenix Fashion Week’s sigature Fashionably Pink Celebrity Fashion Show, powered by Tal Barkel, sponsored by Tuft & Needle, Kendra Scott, & DigitalWire360, benefiting local breast cancer non-profit Don’t Be a Chump! Check for a Lump! kicks off Thursday, October 5th. Phoenix Fashion Week organizers are thrilled to introduce an exciting new host venue for the 2017 event: The beautiful outdoor 80 ft. long, poolside runway at Talking Stick Resort.

“Our entire team here at Don’t Be a Chump! Check for a Lump! is thankful for this partnership with Phoenix Fashion Week and their support of breast cancer awareness by producing Fashionably Pink especially with the unfortunate closing of the Susan G. Komen office here in Phoenix,” said Holly Rose, Survivor and Founder, Don’t Be a Chump! Check for a Lump!

The evening begins with a glamorous (no-host) cocktail reception at 6:00 pm inside the Style Villa, featuring a dramatic red carpet entrance for photo opportunities, mingling with local tastemakers, live DJ, and refreshing spirits. The night will also include a charitable LIVE auction by famed auctioneer ‘Bobby D’ and other giving opportunities, with proceeds benefiting Don’t Be a Chump, Check for a Lump! and their Wig Out Program, providing high quality wigs for post chemotherapy and complimentary mammograms for low-income women in Arizona.

“We are excited to again activate one of our strongest platforms, community. We are equally excited to partner with DigitalWire360 to support local breast cancer charities and raise awareness and funds right here in Arizona,” said Brian Hill, Executive Director for Phoenix Fashion Week.

Set to the picture-perfect backdrop of Arizona’s desert night sky, the high-energy fashion show will begin at 8:15 pm, with “pink inspired” fashions from The Glam Squad. Curated designers will also be featured on the runway and worn by breast cancer survivors and recognizable local celebrities adorned in exclusive jewelry by Tal Barkel, including Channel 12’s Caribe Devine, with styling provided by TONI&GUY and Muze Beauty.
