On March 24, Calgary’s Twestival is supporting Making Changes by hosting a tweet-up fashion event. Can Twitter geeks be fashionable for a good cause? Lili Bunce, Executive Director of Making Changes thinks so, "We have been overwhelmed and amazed by the level of support and enthusiasm that the Calgary Twitter community has offered us."
The event will be held at Firewater (222 – 7th Street S.W.), and tickets can be purchased online at http://calgary.twestival.com/ for $15. The theme of the night spurred from one of Making Changes programs called Walk in Closet whose mandate is "To empower women by providing them with knowledge and a selection of work attire for their transition into the workplace." At the event, there will be a paparazzi-filled red carpet, a photo booth, and models.
Instead of the standard silent auction, Twestival is taking it up a notch and turning it into a walking auction. Espy, a local clothing store located in Inglewood, will be dressing up models in which people will have the opportunity to purchase clothing by buying items directly off of the models for chances to win bigger prizes.
If people are unable to attend, or if tickets sell out, there is still an opportunity to donate.
