Time Warner Cable Tunes In As Presenting Sponsor of 2012 Divine
Design, Benefiting Project Angel Food
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19, 2012
/PRNewswire/ -- Time Warner
Cable will serve as presenting sponsor of this year's
Divine Design, the West Coast's premier charity shopping
event, benefiting Project Angel Food. Taking place
from Nov. 29-Dec. 3, Divine Design
connects shoppers to a huge selection of designer fashion, home
furnishings, decor and accessories, all sold at deep discounts to
raise critical funds for Project Angel Food, which provides
thousands of meals and nutritional counseling each week to people
throughout Los Angeles County
affected by HIV/AIDS, Cancer and other life-threatening
illnesses.
"Time Warner Cable is proud to support Project Angel Food, and
it is our pleasure to be the presenting sponsor of the 21st Divine
Design fundraiser," said Debi
Picciolo, regional vice president of operations for Time
Warner Cable. "Like fashion, home technology is constantly
evolving, so Divine Design guests will preview our Time Warner
Cable Signature Home Lounge, focused on the latest innovations in
home entertainment including 3D TV, TWC WiFi, Whole House HD-DVR,
and our IntelligentHome security system."
Reflecting this year's "Rock 'n' Roll" theme at Divine Design,
the Time Warner Cable Signature Home Lounge will offer a
rock-inspired setting with guitar wall fixtures, cobalt carpet,
gunmetal walls and modern technology twists. Attendees can
take a break from shopping and check out TWC's suite of
sophisticated technology products and services such as 3D
TV, the TWC TV app, Whole House
HD-DVR, Look Back/Start Over
and IntelligentHome, the latest in home
security. The Lounge will feature two interactive
stations bringing social and traditional media
together: "15 Seconds of Fame," an interactive video
experience that allows visitors to star in their favorite
television shows, and "Why I Support Divine Design," which
lets shoppers record testimonials that will be packaged and posted
on YouTube. Using their own wireless devices via TWC
WiFi or those provided in the TWC Lounge, attendees
can also blog, post or tweet, with their social media messages
shown on big screens and, as desired, pushed to their own social
media sites. The hash tags for the Time Warner Cable Signature Home
Lounge and Divine Design are #TWCDivineDesign and
#DivineDesign2012.
For five consecutive days, Divine Design will be the
place to find the best in designer merchandise at a discount,
beginning at 60% off of retail. In the spirit of giving,
shoppers can choose from incredible deals for everyone on their
holiday list and help feed those struggling with a
life-threatening illness. For every $5 spent at Divine Design, Project Angel Food can
cook and deliver a meal to someone struggling with HIV/AIDS, cancer
or other debilitating illness anywhere in Los Angeles County.
Divine Design kicks off on Thursday,
November 29 with an Opening Night Rock 'n' Roll Party
held inside the Divine Design Marketplace at 9900 Wilshire
Boulevard (the former Robinsons- May building). Friday, November 30 designer Mila Hermanovski of "Project Runway" fame and
noted style expert Lawrence Zarian
will host an Evening of VIP Shopping & Cocktails. The
Marketplace will open to the general public at 10 a.m. beginning Saturday, December 1. The
discount on Saturday will be 70% off of retail and increase each
remaining day of the sale through Monday,
December 3, 10 a.m. to 8
p.m.
Divine Design was born 21 years ago in response to the
devastation the design community was experiencing from HIV/AIDS.
Since its inception, the proceeds from Divine Design have funded
millions of nutritious meals for Angelenos in need and who might
otherwise go without. Founded in 1989, Project Angel Food currently
provides 12,000 life-sustaining meals and nutritional counseling
each week to men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS, Cancer
and other life-threatening illnesses. Thanks to a devoted core of
3,700 volunteers, meals are cooked and delivered weekly to people's
homes throughout Los Angeles
County.
