Project Paz Raises $90k to Benefit Victims of Violence in Ciudad Juárez.

In an effort to promote peace in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, Project Paz presented Project Art, a silent art auction in conjunction with Amor por Juárez, at Industria Superstudio in NYC the night of Novmeber 16th .

Celebrity guests including Melissa George, Petra Nemcova, Nate Berkus, Jaydy Mitchell, Robert Burke and designer Thakoon Panichgul, Eddie Borgo, Monique Pean, and Amanda Assad Mounser joined hosts Rafa Marquez, Michael Bastian, Roxana Bruno Lamb, Christian Cota, Amanda Hearst, Carolina Herrera De Baez, Karla Martinez and Sylvana Ward Durrett to raise awareness about the need for peace in Ciudad Juarez, and to raise funds to support community development programs in underdeveloped neighborhoods in the region. All the hosts are prominent influencers with either direct ties to the Juárez/El Paso area or a strong passion for the cause.


A silent auction featuring works from artists such as Teresa Margolles, Paris Kain and Mauricio Alejo, along with products and services donated by designers such as Alexander Wang, Juan Carlos Obando, Valentino, The Standard Hotel and Band of Outsiders, along with the ticket sales helped to raise over $90,000 for the cause.

All money raised at the event will be seen through to established Fundacion del Empresariado Chihuahuense, A.C. (FECHAC) community groups. FECHAC oversees community health, education and development projects in the underserved neighborhoods of Ciudad Juárez. Each project must be formed by at least 10 members of the community and benefit at least 30. Project Art is generously underwritten by Amor por Juárez and FECHAC.
