Burlesque Bras for a Cause
A Night of Glamour that Gives back!
A benefit for ANGELETA HEWITT
Public Assembly
April 19th, 2010
9pm-1AM
Angeleta Hewitt, known to friends as “Angela” is a 40 year old mother of three. She lives in Jamaica and is battling breast cancer. She is also the aunt to New York based burlesque performer: The Incredible, Edible Akynos. In July of 2008, Angela found a lump in her breast, which turned out to be cancerous. She had this lump removed the following November, but unfortunately that has not been the end of her battle with cancer.
Angela desperately needs to continue her chemotherapy. Her cancer is aggressive and can easily spread throughout her body. However, Angela continuously misses her chemotherapy sessions because of her financial circumstances. Angela is a hairdresser by trade, and makes money whenever she can get a client, but she is finding it harder to work due to her condition. Unfortunately, Angela missed her last chemotherapy session because she was recently robbed. This incident really set her back—that money was also meant to pay her doctor bills. Presently, she is unable to afford any sort of treatment for her cancer.
The Incredible, Edible Akynos has organized the Burlesque Bras for a Cause event, to save her aunt’s life. The goal of this event is to raise enough money, so Angela can get the vital medications and treatments that she needs.
This meaningful night of glamour will include a burlesque show, exciting raffle prizes from local businesses, and an amazing art bra auction.
The art bra auction sponsors and designers include:
- BUST Magazine
- Dirty Dolls Lingerie
- Angie Pontani- Burlesque Bombshell
- World Famous *BOB* - The Dream Come True Girl!
- Garo Sparo- Costume Designer
The burlesque show will feature New York City’s most fabulous performers:
- Maddy Mann
- Margoh and Manee
- Stormy and Max
- Della Dare
- The Incredible, Edible, Akynos
- Brown Girls Burlesque
- Charlie Demos
**Sponsors and volunteers are still needed for this benefit!**
* Donated goodies to drink, eat, and giveaway
* Raffle prizes
* Finger foods and sweets for guests/performers/volunteers
* Canned and non-perishable goods for Angela
* We are also seeking underwriters and trying to raise approximately $10,000 for Angela
What you will get:
* Your logo will be included on event invites, flyers, website, etc. These materials will be distributed throughout the Little Woman, BIG HAIR Productions database, the Dirty Dolls Lingerie database, consumer media (national and local), tastemakers, and other VIPs.
* Inclusion in media alert and outreach to local event press.
* Logo inclusion on event signage.
* Pre- and post-promotion on related web sites: Dirty Dolls Lingerie blog, and Twitter, inclusion in post-event press coverage of event in broadcast, print and online entertainment/lifestyle media outlets, social media platforms and a variety of taste-making blogs.
