ROCK YOUR RACK 2026 September 25 - October 4, 2026







14th Annual Rock Your Rack Event is on the way!


Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 13% of women, and an ever increasing percentage of men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.


Models Giving Back is pleased to present Rock Your Rack, an annual fundraising event combining the best of SL Music, Art, Dance and Fashion to support the work of breast cancer charities and raise awareness for early detection which is critical to a positive outcome for this devastating disease.


Nantucket Yacht Club has graciously sponsored our SIM for 2026. 


This year's sponsors include : The Best of SL, BOSLArts, Models Giving Back, Wilder Tech,  Cobalt Island, Dark Star Radio, Kultivate Arts, LattaVaNae, Pink Moon Vice City, Perverts of the Carribean, United Rhythms, Vivid Islands of Pleasure, XRadio, and Aether Bay. 


Thank you to our Media sponsors as well for getting the word out: BOSL Magazine, Grid Affairs, Hostcrate, Media SL, ModeLS Magazine, SL Educate Record Social Magazine, SUGAR, The SL Enquirer, The Biology club, Provocateur Magazine,   and  EyeWatch Inworld News. 


This year's event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation which provides free mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need. 


Designers will be providing limited edition creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest, exclusive and most popular designs for your shopping pleasure.  And, of course, the very popular 10L hunt will be up and running in the 70+ different designer booths and 30 different artist booths.

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation



The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail.  She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34.  At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options.  After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.  NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need.  This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.
