As part of this internship, I did PR for, modeled in and helped organize a benefit fashion/music/dance show last Thursday called "The Red Haute Ribbon".
This one-of-a-kind fashion/performance/benefit show featured performances from local bands, hip-hop groups and dancers, and stylings form local stores and designers.
We were extremely pleased with how the event turned out. We raised over $1600 in ticket sales alone, all of which went straight to the HIV Alliance since we had a grant for the venue and all services and performances were donated.
We also raised a lot of awareness for the HIV Alliance and sparked interest in potential donors and volunteers.
On top of all of this, all of the performances were perfect, and everyone who attended seemed to have an amazing night.
This event was by far the most challenging yet fun and rewarding experience I've ever had. Donating so much time and effort over a period of months to one thing and then being able to see the success of the final result was so motivating. It made me confident that PR/event planning is my passion and I can't wait to graduate and get started in a career where I get to do what I am passionate about every day!
