Phoenix Suns Host First-Ever Rise In Style Fashion Show
Phoenix Suns Charities hosted Rise In Style: Fashion for the Future, presented by Annexus, on Saturday, Jan. 11 at Talking Stick Resort Arena in downtown Phoenix. Suns players Kelly Oubre Jr. and Deandre Ayton served as co-chairs for the inaugural fashion show and helped develop the aesthetic and creative programming elements for the show. As part of the interactive event, co-hosted by media personality Rosalyn Gold-Onwude and digital creator/sneaker aficionado Jacques Slade, the entire Suns team, plus head coach Monty Williams and general manager James Jones, flaunted their style on the runway alongside youth representatives from local nonprofit organizations throughout the Valley. The special evening included a cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction and much more. Proceeds from Rise In Style benefit Phoenix Suns Charities, which works to improve the lives of youth and families throughout Arizona by actively creating and supporting programs which focus on education, recreation, health and human services.
