Submitted by Bill Morrow on Monday, March 7th, 11:03 am

A crowd of nearly one thousand packed the Grand Ballroom at the University of Arizona Student Union on Sunday night, for the 8th Annual Moda Provocateur fashion show and fund-raising event.

The program featured dinner, music and a runway fashion show produced by several salons and boutiques in Tucson.

It was hosted by KOLD Chief Meteorologist Chuck George, and benefits the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation.

Since the first show was produced in 2004, Moda Provocateur has raised more than $250,000 in support of SAAF's programs and services. At the present time, over one million people are living with HIV in the United States alone.

One of the show's models, Marbella Valenzuela, recently took top honors in competition for a place in the Fashion Edition of Tucson Lifestyle Magazine. Her theme was AIDS Awareness.
