Follow on Google News | Philly To Stomp The Runway Against Domestic AbuseJoin Rashad Corey Productions at its premiere fashion gala against domestic abuse inspired by the death of local published model, Vanessa "Ms. Banks" Watson.
By: German Cuadrado Inspired by the death of local published model, Vanessa “Ms. Banks” Watson, this fashion gala will increase awareness about the dangers of domestic abuse among the Philadelphia community at risk and fundraise to support life-saving services by Women Against Abuse, Inc currently at risk in State budget with fashion and style. “In a city of 1.5 million, where one in every three women is at risk of being battered at least once in their lifetime, we must take action,” said Rashad Corey, owner of Rashad Corey Productions. WAA is the only nonprofit organization in Philadelphia that provides limited shelter services. Since 2008, the organization has been forced to deny approximately 7,000+ shelter requests. “The statistics are alarming and will continue to increase if we don’t take action,” added Corey. “Vanessa’s death called everyone involved in this production to action and we hope that the city will join our efforts to decrease the number of victims left in violent homes." At STR, the 400+ guests in attendance will enjoy Kendra G, FOX 29’s entertainment news reporter, as our purple carpet host, Philadelphia’ Visit http://www.stomptherunway.com for information and tickets for this event.
