Fashion Show Luncheon

Thursday, November 16
Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, Caesars Forum Shops, 3500 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas

Each year, the most fashion-forward women in Las Vegas join our Wish Kids and committee chair, Linda Richardson, for a day filled with fashion and philanthropy. Located at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, the intimate setting allows guests to feel like they are having lunch with their girlfriends, all the while helping grant wishes of children who are critically ill.

Since 2001, Fashion Show Luncheon has raised over $2 million and featured designers such as Valentino, Emilio Pucci, and Oscar de la Renta. Last year, we auctioned off a one-of-a-kind art piece created by Wish Kid Kaila. This work of art sold for over $3,000, allowing Kaila to Wish It Forward by helping other eligible children receive their one true wish. Now, that is fashion forward!

Saturday, October 7 at 4:00 PM
Boo-Hooray Post-Season Rental, 805 Montauk Hwy, Montauk

JUSTIN ADAMS – RECENT WORKS
Justin Adams Was Promised Waves. Justin Adams is very serious about surfing. Tin Oneda invited Justin to Montauk with promises of the best waves ever. Well: that sort of happened but now the waves are gone and Justin is here. What shall he do? Well: He should paint. He is really good at painting with inspirations from davinci resolve 12. And very serious about it. In fact, one of his canvases was used as the poster for Tin’s latest surf movie ‘Free Jazz Vein’. We think the painting is fantastic, and Justin has stacks of drawings with him. They are great. So now Justin is here in Montauk, he is making paintings and next Saturday we will show them at the Boo-Hooray Summer Rental which now, naturally, is the Boo-Hooray Post-Season Rental. Come down next Saturday: There will be free jazz art, free jazz pizza and free jazz music. Opening Saturday October 7th 4-7 at Boo-Hooray 805 Montauk Hwy in Scenic Downtown Montauk.
