Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center
Pink Rocks the Runway, a project of Pink Jams!, is a one-of-a-kind fundraising event combining couture fashion and live rock music to promote Pink Jams’ mission – increasing breast cancer awareness for men and women under the age of 40.
Project Runway's Christian Siriano will bring his Spring 2012 Ready to Wear collection directly from his Mercedes Benz Fashion Week to Pink Rocks the Runway to promote breast cancer awareness!
In addition, a dozen designers will reveal their pink couture creations on our runway in the International Trade Center Atrium. Each designer has been paired with a young breast cancer survivor who will strut their stuff on the runway. All with live rock music! It's an evening that will educate and inspire! And, there may just be a few surprise guests.
All proceeds from Pink Rocks the Runway supports Pink Jams, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising breast cancer awareness for men and women under the age of 40. Pink Jams! will be awarding a special grant to the Capital Breast Care Center for their work in our community that evening.
