FASHION BENEFIT, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, BEING HELD TO RAISE AWARENESS OF CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING IN ATLANTA
ATLANTA- According to the FBI, Atlanta ranks as one of the top cities in the nation for child sex trafficking, but most Atlanta residents have no idea this issue exists in their city. On May 29, Meet Justice, a nonprofit organization, will address this issue through a fashion and entertainment benefit called Drop Dead Gorgeous (DDG) starting at 9:00 p.m. at Amore located [insert address here] . Using fashion as an avenue for advocacy, DDG is an event to raise awareness and funds for victims of child sex trafficking in Atlanta.
“This is an opportunity for the fashion industry to use their influence on society to bring positive change to the community, and to use their resources to restore beauty to children who have been victim to sex trafficking,” said Daniel Homrich, Director of Meet Justice.
Capitalizing on the influence fashion has on culture, this benefit will empower people within the fashion industry to use that influence as a platform to make a difference in the fight to end child sex trafficking. At last year’s DDG event, 100 beauty kits were distributed to victims in Atlanta, Romania and Cambodia.
This year, DDG will be complete with music from DJ Jeremy and a runway fashion show featuring the season’s latest trends from boutiques throughout Atlanta. This will also be a time where patrons will learn more about child sex trafficking in Atlanta and how they can get involved in bringing an end to this injustice. Along with Amore, Drop Dead Gorgeous is sponsored by Lamborghini, Atlantan Magazine, Daily Candy, Infiniti Entertainment, Thread House, Crescent Moon Productions and House of Music. Tickets and event information can be found at www.dropdeadgorgeousevent.org.
