WHY: Hair O’ The Dog has announced that the M·A·C VIVA GLAM Fund (formerly called the M·A·C AIDS Fund) will be the deserving charity that a portion of the event proceeds will be donated to this year. As a brand with inclusivity embedded in the DNA, M·A·C has been going strong for over 25-years with its global mission to serve people living with and affected by HIV/ AIDS. There will be top M·A·C make-up artists attending the event and during the live auction, M·A·C will raffle off a basket to interested guests. Also, the M·A·C located on 17th & Chestnut will be offering one complimentary make-up session for each TOP DOG bottle-service table booked. All year long, every cent of the selling price of the VIVA GLAM II Lipstick, VIVA GLAM III Lipstick and the new, limited-edition 25th anniversary VIVA GLAM 25 Lipstick in the original VIVA GLAM I shade, will be donated to the VIVA GLAM Fund.

About Hair O’ The Dog:

Hair O’ The Dog was created in 1995 (that’s 109 DOG years ago!) by longtime friends Daniel Cronin and Robert Molinaro. Dan and Rob are also the co-founders of Chorus Communications, an award-winning Technology Consulting firm headquartered in Philadelphia. The first Hair O’ The Dog was held at the Tiki Club in King of Prussia. At the party, they decided that their love of fun, combined with their whip-smart business sense, could generate income for non-profits through fundraising. From this thinking, Hair O’ The Dog was born. The founders were thrilled with the original 100 persons turn out! Each year since this glamorous gala has grown tremendously in both size and prominence. Today, the event attracts thousands of partygoers and is considered the longest-running black-tie affair in the country. HOD is now spearheaded by Buffy Harakidas, a seasoned event, and marketing professional. Known for her creativity and passion, Buffy has produced some of the biggest and best shindigs in the country. Each year, a portion of the event proceeds are donated to a designated charity. In 2019, in commemoration with Hair O’ The Dog’s 25th Anniversary, The City of Philadelphia awarded the event with a citation from the Mayor for its continued and successful philanthropic efforts.

M·A·C VIVA GLAM Fund:

M·A·C Cosmetics’ charitable campaign, VIVA GLAM, has raised over $500 million since its inception in 1994, exclusively through the sale of M·A·C VIVA GLAM lip products. VIVA GLAM funds support healthy futures and equal rights for women, girls, and the LGBTQ communities while maintaining its decades-long support for those living with HIV/AIDS. To date, the sale of VIVA GLAM products has funded more than 1,800 organizations around the globe.
