Jane Wiedlin, founding member of the legendary all-female rock band the Go-Go’s, is hosting a Panty Party fundraiser for Aloha Ilio Rescue from 7:30-10:30 p.m. Dec. 19 at the East Hawaii Cultural Center.
The party is nearly sold out, with only eight tickets remaining at press time.
As a longtime animal lover and animal rights activist, East Hawaii resident Wiedlin is quickly raising awareness of the needs of animal rescue and shelter organizations islandwide.
Wiedlin is best known as the rhythm guitarist and singer/songwriter of the most successful female rock band of all time, the Go-Go’s. The Grammy-nominated Go-Go’s received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2011, 30 years after they rose to fame in 1981 with their debut album, “Beauty and the Beat.”
Wiedlin’s Panty Party includes thousands of dollars of brand new Felina lingerie and brand new high-end makeup available by silent auction. The night includes a fashion and dog show starring HourGlass Burlesque and features the sexy shelter dogs of the Hawaii Island Humane Society, followed by a burlesque and drag show.
The $20 event ticket includes a complimentary glass of wine or soft drink and a chance to win fantastic door prizes, including makeup by Lancome, Armani, Dior and more. One hundred percent of proceeds benefit Aloha Ilio Rescue.
The mission of Aloha Ilio Rescue is to stop the overpopulation and euthanasia of unwanted dogs on Hawaii Island. Aloha Ilio Rescue adopts dogs from the Hawaii Island Humane Society Shelter and finds them their new forever home.
Most adoptions cost $100 and include heartworm and flea medication, spay/neuter service and microchip. Aloha Ilio Rescue also provides home checks to ensure the safety of your new companion in your home.
The Panty Party is a 21 and older event sponsored in cooperation with the Hawaii Island Humane Society, East Hawaii Cultural Center and supported by Wiedlin and a team of volunteers.
