Teller’s Family Night Presents a Spring Fashion Event
Thursday, February 25th, 2010From Teller’s Family Night:
“Join us as we transform the beautiful dining room of Teller’s Restaurant into a high fashion catwalk featuring clothing from local stores and designers! And the best thing is: all proceeds from this event go towards a disaster relief fund for Haiti’s earthquake victims.
“Believe it or not, even during times of devastation, there are groups and individuals that exclude the LGBT community or discriminate in providing help. The Rainbow World Fund (RWF), established in San Francisco in 2000, is one organization that makes sure that charitable donations do not go to bigoted associations. Partnered with CARE, the RWF has been providing emergency food, safe water, plastic for shelter, blankets, and basic medicines to Haitians since the disastrous earthquake of magnitude 7.0 struck the country on 12 January 2010. With the credo “One Human Family,” the RWF is the world’s first and only LGBT based humanitarian aid organization, which has distributed millions of dollars in emergency supplies and grants for survivors of disasters, including the South East Asia earthquake and tsunami in 2004 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. From the RWF website:
‘Rainbow World Fund has three primary goals – to provide humanitarian aid to communities in need around the world; to create awareness within the LGBT community of the need for these relief efforts; and to change perceptions of the LGBT community by putting our highest beliefs and values into action demonstrating our compassion and caring for the world. RWF’s projects affect social change at home and abroad through education, networking, developing solidarity, fostering understanding and building community.’
“Stores include Wildman Vintage, Arizona Trading Co., Miss Fortune’s Creation Station, Goldmakers, GAP, and Social Service League. Local designers include David Goodwin and Jane Hansen.”
