Pro-Mask Wearing fashion show travels from Las Vegas to Los Angeles for #MaskUp4USA Event at YAMASHIRO
Following the tremendous success of the #MaskUp4LV pro-mask wearing fashion show event and movement on June 25 at the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign in Las Vegas, the event producers, Greg Chase, CEO & Founder of Experience Strategy Associates, and Douglas Johnson, President/Executive Producer of Entertainment Plus Productions took the movement nationally with an event at YAMASHIRO in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 2.
The Las Vegas event captured media attention across the globe with TV clips still running in national news outlets and nearly every major market in the United States, from front pages of such publications the San Jose Mercury News and the Las Vegas Review-Journal, to numerous digital impressions through outlets from MSN, Yahoo News, Business Insider Australia, Philippines Daily Herald and more.
Now with bars being closed in California, Texas, and Florida, the organizers want to take what started as the entertainment community coming together in Las Vegas to the national level to encourage mask wearing and elevate the campaign to #MaskUp4USA where entertainers will help inspire individuals to mask up so we can collectively save lives and push through this pandemic together, allowing not just entertainers, but workers across the nation to be able to get back to work quicker and return to a level of normalcy in daily lives.
