Mercedes-Benz Presents Fashion Funds the Cure

This year on March 9, Linking Events will be in Tampa celebrating the 10^th Anniversary of the Fashion Funds the Cure event. Mercedes-Benz, a major contributor to the cause, will once again team up with the Pediatric Cancer Foundation to help host the occasion.

The Pediatric Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit organization that dedicates itself to funding research to finding the cure to childhood cancer. More than 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year and despite this fact, this is a consistently underfunded cause. All proceeds from this event will benefit the Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

Fashion Funds the Cure has been helping dreams come true for the past decade. This celebration brings together young girls who battle cancer every day and rejoices unsurpassed strength and courage. Celebrity host Carson Kressley joined the girls, on February 10^th at Neiman Marcus, for a day of pampering away from treatments and hospital visits. After being chauffeured to the store, volunteers helped the girls enjoy manicures, pedicures and a full day of relaxation! In preparation for the fashion show the girls were treated to lunch and had a chance to choose outfits from the store.

Linking Events would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to visit the www.Fastercure.org and learn more about the Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

Seductive New Mercedes-Benz CLA - Introduced during the Super Bowl

This past Sunday, for those fortunate enough to tune in, we witnessed a game for the books. This will be the most talked about Super Bowl for centuries to come and that’s no exaggeration. Sunday February 3, 2013 New Orleans was host to Super Bowl XLVII in their very own Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The well anticipated game had more excitement then anyone could have hoped! With the Ravens winning in the first half it looked to be an easy game. After the power outage in the third quarter the 49ers came back with a bang, scoring 17 points in only a 4 minute stretch. After an exhilarating second half the Ravens took the win with 34-31 score.  Just as surprising as the Super Bowl itself, Mercedes-Benz had a few tricks up their sleeve this year with the commercial introducing the new seductive CLA. Many will await the arrival of the new CLA, starting at $29,900, this September. Mercedes-Benz has always been a generous contributor to the NFL and thus was presented as such during the big game. The biggest touch point was the sky high emblem that was placed in epicenter of the dome.

Contracting Usher, the 7 time Grammy winner and Kate Upton, the 20 year old who was named Rookie of the Year in 2011 of Sport Illustrated was a paramount move! Adding Willem Dafoe was the icing on the star-studded cake. As we all know, with Mercedes-Benz it’s “The best or nothing” and they definitely had one of the best commercials on play this Sunday. Let’s take a look at the fame filled commercial below.

Super Bowl XVLII - Space Babies Sneak Peak

Exactly 72 hours from 6:30 PM Today January 31, 2013 a football will be kicked off at the New Orleans Superdome and an estimated 130 million people will be watching the biggest game in American sports.

The Super Bowl has become somewhat of a national holiday. Family and friends all gather with unimaginable amounts of food and drinks to spare, to cheer on their conference team! Super Bowl XLVII will be presenting the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. With an audience that amounts to be almost half of the population we can only imagine the media and advertisement possibility. A simple 30 second commercial can cost a few billion dollars. Not only is the game talked about for the next couple of months but the commercials have also become just as popular as the game itself. KIA recently released their sneak peak commercial (below) and as we all know, KIA has the power to surprise!
