Denim Dogs Fashion Blast 2015 Expands Sponsors List
Four New Sponsors Include Buckhead Hotel and Dunwoody Pet Resort
TUCKER GA (20 August 2015) – Mister Migs, a Georgia non-profit organization that designs and produces high-quality couture dog wear and gear while providing employment opportunities for marginalized young adults, announced today the latest additions to an ever-growing list of corporate sponsors for its upcoming “Denim Dogs Fashion Blast 2015” fundraiser. The Westin Hotel Buckhead announced earlier this month that it has come on board as the official hotel for the event, scheduled for Saturday, 7 November 2015 at Ambient Plus Studio in Midtown Atlanta. Arel Group Wine and Spirits, Atlanta-based distributors of the Candoni de Zan family wines, is the official wine provider for the event. The Pet Resorts in Dunwoody and Atlanta Dog Trainer in Alpharetta have also offered support.
“We are overwhelmed by the generous support from the Atlanta business community for our first fundraising event,” said Karen Lynn, founder and president of WOW In-Sync, Mister Migs’s parent company. “Through their generosity, we can not only show how Mister Migs’s products celebrate dogs and their owners, but promote its larger mission to help young adults develop career skills and grow in self-confidence.”
The ticketed event will spotlight couture canine designs from Mister Migs’s debut collection, modeled by local celebrity dogs accompanied by runway models. Other major sponsors include Eidé Magazine, Modern Dog, Pet Pages Atlanta, Factor Women and Star K9. All proceeds from the event will benefit Mister Migs’s mission to provide real-life work experience for marginalized young adults, many with developmental disabilities and autism.
The runway production will be produced by Michelle Lynch, owner of Poshe Productions and Macy’s national show event planner; Star K-9 will provide the four-legged models, including several television and film stars along with show dogs and community heroes.
In addition to the fashion show, event guests will be treated to a dinner with unique cuisine, provided by J'aime Sweets & Savories, live jazz music and a silent auction.
Sponsorships are still available; companies and individuals interested in sponsorships should contact Mary Justman at mjustman@wowinsync.org for available packages and prices.
