The return of Fashion Touchdown, hosted by Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence, celebrating football, fashion, and philanthropy.
The worlds of sports and fashion are often viewed as disparate, but when they unite for a noble cause, it’s truly a spectacle to behold. This is what the much-anticipated Fashion Touchdown event, hosted by Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence, promises. After a three-year break, the fashion show, sponsored by the Marrone Law Firm, is ready to make its grand comeback.
Scheduled for Monday, November 13, 2023, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the Fashion Touchdown event will be held at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. Showcasing football stars alongside their significant others on the runway, the evening’s primary aim is to support the enduring mission of BBBS Independence. This organization tirelessly fosters one-to-one mentoring relationships that uplift and empower the youth.
Fashion Touchdown will feature prominent Philadelphia Eagles players, including James Bradberry, Joshua Jobe (who was once mentored by BBBS), Boston Scott, De’Andre Swift, and renowned alums like Vinny Curry and Brian Westbrook. While more player names are yet to be disclosed, it’s evident that the runway will be lit up with athletic prowess and elegant couture from Boyds, the event’s official fashion partner. As a celebrated fashion house, Boyds gracefully blends modern relevance with timeless traditions, making it the perfect choice to dress these sporting icons and their partners.
Another intriguing event element is the live auction, which former Eagles player Kevin Reilly will officiate. Moreover, BBBS Independence will be celebrating the commendable journey of Dominic DiSandro. Entering his 25th season with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dominic has made an indelible mark, presently serving as the senior advisor to the General Manager and Chief Security Officer.
The media spotlight on Fashion Touchdown will be intense, courtesy of NBCU Philadelphia, the official Media Partner. Further details, such as the evening’s hosts, are eagerly awaited. However, one thing’s for sure: the attendees are in for an immersive experience of football, fashion, and fundraising.
VIP ticket holders can look forward to a special pre-event reception while everyone can enjoy a meticulously curated food and beverage menu. And with Philadelphia magazine on board as a sponsor, the event’s stature only grows.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available for those interested in supporting this noble endeavor. Take the chance to witness the dazzling intersection of sports and fashion while making a difference.
