NEW YORK – Drape Kings participated Dec. 12 in the sixth annual Charity: Water, Charity: Ball. Charity: Water is a nonprofit organization based in New York City which gives 100 percent of donations to funding water projects in developing countries. Hostess Jessica Biel and special guest auctioneer Tyler Perry presided over an evening attended by more than 2,200 people raising a $2.6 million for projects in Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Cambodia.
The event was held in the Drill Hall of the 69th Regiment Armory. Attendees entered the arena via 600 feet of Drape Kings red carpet to full view of a custom created 360 degree draped projection room showing a dynamic introduction to the Charity:Water Campaign. Through the swagged gray velour, attendees progressed into a party space of 140 ft by 200 ft created through the use of hundreds of feet of Drape Kings’ opaque black velour drape.
Attendees monitored the auction’s progress on a custom 25 ft high by 60 ft wide bleached white muslin screen which Drape Kings created exclusively for this event. The Armory also saw the creation of two VIP areas through the use of 2,400 ft of Drape Kings’ black carpet that played host to actresses Sophia Bush and Jessica Lowndes as well as designers Erin Fetherston and Nanette Lepore.
