The event was a collaborative effort between Marlin and Sylvestre, music and runway organizer Jake Desrochers, fashion show director Shayla Wynne, and art curator Jenn Ponci, with the additional support from the three salon crews.

MIC JORDAN and NON of TRIBE OF LEVI performed powerful and inspiring hip-hop for the fundraiser, which took place on Second Saturday, a Sacramento tradition in the midtown area that makes every art-form more accessible to the general public. This community effort occurs monthly through all-ages events at local businesses who open their doors one night a month to display artwork, and showcase live entertainment. TRIBE OF LEVI has been a respected group and positive force in the Sacramento music scene for several years, delivering uplifting messages to their fans and listeners.

Dan Osterhoff (and Jenn Ponci) March 9th, 2010

Local DJ, muralist, graffiti writer, and 3rd-generation sign-painter Daniel “Whores” Osterhoff was scheduled to perform and contribute his artwork to this event. Unfortunately, only days prior, he fell critically ill from a heart condition. The 2017 Flyfest event expanded it’s cause to include medical fundraising for Daniel. Everyone in Sacramento was devastated to hear the news. The second fashion show was cancelled immediately after Cawzlos took the stage, as all participants had been touched by his positive influence on the community.
