FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Life Is Art and PARK Project present a fantastic night of FUNdraising at a price anyone can afford!
Monday, June 2, 2011 (Miami, FL) – Some people talk about doing something, some people do. When they perceive a need, some people move to fill it, rather than just sit around complaining. This is how two local non-profits got started. Life Is Art and PARK Project were both founded out of recognition of a need not being filled. Though through different mission statements, two experienced event producers had the same intentions and chose similar paths with the goal of supporting the south Florida community.
“Culture builds communities,” says James Echols, co-founder of Life Is Art, Inc, a charity whose mission is to promote the arts through events and education. “People build communities,” says Marly Quincoces, co-founder of PARK Project, an organization that encourages people to Perform Acts of Random Kindness by producing events to raise awareness and funds for other charities. Now, these two young organizations have joined together to throw a spectacular fundraising party on June 18th, 2011 at the illustrious Surfcomber Hotel in Miami Beach.
It will be a dazzling night filled with art, entertainment and community! A prominent art show of over a dozen noteworthy south Florida artists will be one of the major attractions. South Florida boasts much amazing talent! DJ Robin Louis will provide music for the night and the event will headline a live music concert by Day Music Died, a smashing hot rock band. The Rainbow Circus will be providing acrobats, jugglers and will even have a trapeze show! There will even be fashion shows by designers Casey Levan and Aidana Baldassarre.
In addition to the plethora of entertainment, UV Vodka and El Dorado Rum will be providing complimentary beverages from 7:00pm to 9:00pm courtesy of AMC Liaisons, Inc. The party starts at 6:00pm and lasts thru 11:00pm, a full night of exciting FUNdraising. Unlike most fundraisers of this nature, however, the entry fee will be well within everyone’s reach. Tickets are just $10.00 in advance and $20.00 at the door.
The best part is that all of the money goes directly into building a community that loves service and culture. Everyone involved is volunteering their time and “PARKing†their resources for this event. The Surfcomber has donated their space and StarMar Events has donated production and management services along with ProSound Productions, Elegant Parties, Twilight Features and Logistical Outsourcing all donating their skills and supplies to make it a great night. Sex and the Beach, Erotic Signature, SocialBuzzTV, SocialMedia305 and Soul Of Miami are all donating their efforts to promote the event as every penny raised keeps Life is Art’s and PARK Project’s missions moving forward to continue making a lasting impact on the community.
The Surfcomber hotel is located at 1717 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139. For tickets and more information, please visit lifeisartfest.org or www.parkproject.org.
