RALEIGH, NC – April 18th, 2011 – Dapper Style House in downtown Raleigh is hosting a First Friday event on Friday, May 6, 2011. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Triangle Gay Men’s Chorus (TGMC), the Common Woman Chorus (CWC) and Susan G. Komen for the Cure®- NC Triangle
The Triangle Gay Men’s Chorus (TGMC) is a nonprofit performing arts organization that seeks to perform quality men’s choral music that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. We recognize the power of music to communicate important truths about common human conditions and the value of all people.
The Common Woman Chorus (CWC) strives to raise consciousness about the quality of women’s lives and experiences through the regular performances of music, and to encourage an appreciation of choral music arranged for women’s voices for the public education, entertainment, benefit and good of members and the general public. CWC is a feminist organization that is lesbian-identified in the community.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, has invested more than $1.9 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, we’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.
Sing for the Cure is an uplifting and positive musical experience. It tells the stories of breast cancer survivors, their families and friends. “A Proclamation of Hope” will be held at the Meymandi Concert Hall of Raleigh’s Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts. This concert was commissioned in 2000 by Susan G. Komen for the Cure® as a result of founder Nancy Brinker’s belief that more would listen to the message if it was delivered through the powerful medium of music. This will be the first local performance and it will take place on Sunday, June 12, 2011.
Usher in spring by trading last year’s wardrobe in for something new and hip from the Dapper Style House! A donation of slightly used clothing to
Help us make 1000 cranes! Grouping one thousand origami paper cranes with strings is an ancient Japanese tradition/legend; promising that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. Starting with First Friday, Dapper’s goal is to raise $1000 for Japanese Red Cross by making 1000 paper cranes. Stop by Dapper, donate $1 per crane, and make the crane yourself (or let our store staff make it for you). Cranes will stay up in the store all month as décor.
