Phoenix Suns Charities hosted Rise In Style: Fashion for the Future on Jan. 11 at Talking Stick Resort Arena. Suns players Kelly Oubre Jr. and Deandre Ayton co-chaired the inaugural fashion show that drew almost 700 guests to the downtown venue. The pair also helped develop the aesthetic and creative programming elements for the show. As part of the interactive event, co-hosted by media personality Rosalyn Gold-Onwude and digital creator/sneaker aficionado Jacques Slade, the entire Suns team plus head coach Monty Williams and general manager James Jones, flaunted their style on the runway alongside youth representatives from local nonprofit organizations throughout the Valley.

The special evening, presented by Annexus, included a cocktail reception, silent auction and more. Proceeds from Rise In Style benefit Phoenix Suns Charities, which works to improve the lives of youth and families throughout Arizona by actively creating and supporting programs that focus on education, recreation, health and human services.
