Tasha Madison, owner of Rainaj Designs, LLC will host the 1^st Annual Lights, Camera, Fashion Show and Market July 26 at the remarkable Colorado Convention Center at three o’clock to help raise funds for Divine Journey Inc., a non-profit organization raising awareness of Kidney Disease and Kidney Donation in the African-American community.   This fashion show will bring the runway to life as Colorado designers display contemporary, classy and notably different clothing and accessories.  Including dance performances and live music will make for a pleasurable evening for a great cause and need.

Divine Journey Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization in Denver that raises awareness of Kidney disease in the African-American community and sponsors kidney recipients and kidney donors after transplant surgery.  It provides emotional support, education, meals and transportation to individuals with kidney disease requiring dialysis, patients currently on the transplant waiting list and those who are not.

Kidney disease is becoming a more aggressive illness that does not discriminate based on race, age or sex, making it a “top priority” to address in the community.  The organization gives opportunity to women and men physically and mentally capable but, most of all, willing to donate their kidney, but are hesitant due to financial restraint and lack of support.

Divine Journey’s ultimate goal is to extend the lives of those dependent on dialysis and educate a community faced with an increasingly disproportionate number of African Americans with kidney disease.  This will shorten the national waiting list as well as restore hope in individuals with a disease that handicaps the quality of life.
