Who said you can’t learn something from fashion, music, and a lot of dancing?
The Macy’s Passport 08 Fashion Inform went all out with awesome fashions from Ed Hardy, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi’s and many more major brands. The use of music and dance made the crowd go wild as they models strutted their stuff down the catwalk. This is the 26th year for the fashion show, which has raised tens of millions of dollars for HIV awareness. The fashion show has a very important message to send to the youth in the audience, “Knowledge is Power”. There was a two-hour preshow for the LAUSD students that included free food, drinks, and prizes, but more importantly, activities that are based on disease prevention. The students were able to participate in fun activities that had very important themes around healthy decisions, compassion, and protecting themselves against high-risk behaviors. Around 2000 LAUSD high school students attended the event at Barker Hanger in the Santa Monica Airport. Carson HS, Cleveland HS, King Drew Magnet, Garfield HS, Franklin HS, Marshall HS, Taft HS, Taft HS Fashion, LA United ROP, Lincoln HS, Roosevelt HS, Huntington Park HS, Washington Prep HS and Gardena HS were among the lucky schools who had the opportunity to attend the event.

A different view of the 2008 Strike out AIDS game "human AIDS ribbon". click pics to enlarge Over 60,000 yelling wild screaming fans watched the Dodgers play the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday the 5th BUT only after they viewed the 8th Annual Srike Out AIDS game at Dodger Stadium for the Wall las Memorias Project. Over 200 marchers formed a HUGE AIDS ribbon with special AIDS messages put on the big game screen for all to read. The dodgers won 7 – 0 over the Diamondbacks.
Aha! Note the Red AIDS Ribbons some great LAUSD staffers wore as they climbed 1500 steps UP for the Annual Ketchum YMCA Stair Climb To The Top of the US Bank Tower on September 26. Pictured from left to right are Sam Mistrano, Paola Santana, Dan Nieman, and Andrea Giancoli. The three on the right are from Board Member Merlene Canter’s Office, and Sam Mistrano is from the Planning & Development Branch. Canter has always been a friend of health education efforts, and we applaud her staff for not only joining a good cause but for helping raise awareness of the HIV epidemic. There is no truth to the rumor that they used the elevator and that the sweat stains are actually cola— Ooh! Do you think sweat stains got on OUR Red Ribbons? |
