JUST DO IT: Stomp the Runway @ TRUST

Filed Under: Activism | Events | In Memoriam

Rashad Corey (pictured) presents Stomp the Runway, a premiere fashion gala designed to raise money and awareness for domestic abuse victims in Philadelphia. Inspired by the death of local model Vanessa “Ms. Banks” Watson, the proceeds of this event will go to Watson’s family and Women Against Abuse, the only non-profit organization in the area that provides shelter services to victims of domestic violence.

Famed Philly broadcasters MoShay Laren and Kendra G will host the evening’s festivities, which will include food, drinks, live music by DJ Hollywood and a silent auction. The runway show will showcase styles by designers Autumn Kietponglert, Shooney Frederic, Ava Bishop and more.

Tickets will not be sold at the door, so make sure to act fast. The super speedy among you will reap additional rewards, as the first 100 guests to purchase tickets will receive premium gift bags courtesy of Spa East.

Fri., June 15, 7 p.m.-11p.m., $40, TRUST, 249 Arch St., 215-592-8400, stomptherunway.com.
