The impact of guest speakers from the fashion and professional sports industries has increased the popularity of this annual event and it's goal of encouraging our younger generation to raise funds for "CancerCare's free support services and to educate them about the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women.
NY Giants WR Michael Clayton's dedication to supporting cancer related foundations became the Tesla Groups perfect match for replacing Kerry Rhodes this year. Clayton runs the "Michael Clayton Generation Next Foundation", a non-profit organization aiding local charities such as the "Ronald McDonald Care Mobile" and the "Tampa Pediatric Cancer Foundation". "As a professional athlete and an individual whose life has been affected by cancer, I am passionately committed to raising awareness about cancer and organizations like CancerCare that provide support for those affected," says Michael Clayton.
Brazilian supermodel Lisalla Montenegro has walked the international runways for such prestigious designers as Hermes, Michael Kors, Armani Exchange, Tracy Reese, Vena Cava, and Pinko. Lisalla has also graced the editorial pages of the most reputable fashion magazines such as Vogue (Brazil, China and American), Glamour (American and German), GQ (Italy), Nylon and CosmoGIRL. Most recently she was signed to iconic makeup brand Maybelline New York. "I am very honored to be involved and to play my part in helping to educate and raise awareness and funds for such an important cause. CancerCare provides incredible support to people struggling with the disease and I hope through the A.E.R Walk with Style event we can continue to help ensure that those battling cancer aren't battling it alone," says Lisalla Montenegro. Together the two will kick off the nights main events, in addition to speaking on cancer awareness, while Damien Woody and Julie Henderson will speak at the V.I.P reception co-hosted by "CancerCare's" junior committee.
