FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (MMD Newswire) February 9,2009 -- The Soffer Collective, a Fort Lauderdale Strategy + Branding + Design firm, in partnership with their New York agents ArtistsandCreatives and IVRepresents, announces "Peep Show," the annual charity Poster Show that, this year, will raise money to fight breast cancer.

The show runs from 7-9pm on February 19th, 2009 at Sailboat Bend Gallery, 1301 SW 2nd Court, Fort Lauderdale, FL.

"Peep Show" honors Michelle Knipp, a Collective client and gutsy breast cancer survivor. All proceeds will be donated to The Memorial Foundation for the Memorial Breast Cancer Center in her name.

"Giving back is part of The Soffer Collective's DNA, " says company leader Patty Soffer. "We have never let a year pass without doing something pro bono. We are particularly excited this year," she adds, "when things are so tight for charities AND artists. The artist outpouring has been overwhelming. And everyone has stepped up to the plate to make this a 100% donation show, meaning there are zero costs so every last penny goes to
Breast Cancer. We can't thank our New York agent and all our sponsors enough. It is absolutely amazing to see this kind of commitment in such a difficult year."

The show features artists, photographers and designers from across the globe. Special works by Poster Show creator and artist Manny Prieres, Whitney Biennial Artist Bert Rodriguez, and Thomas Hodges, International Photographic Artist and the creator of the Imaginism Movement, will be auctioned, along with silent auctions of other some interesting items. And photographer Roger Paperno and filmmaker Jessica Kizorek will capture the event thru their respective camera lenses to produce a book and a documentary film.

Soffer says ‘Peep Show' accomplishes many goals: the artists are able to create, when many are out of jobs; the Memorial Foundation will get a great donation; Michele will know how many people love and support her; and everyone will have a fantastic night complete with gallery-quality work, socializing and the satisfaction that they have all done something to help others.

"We absolutely urge everyone to come out and support us" says Soffer. "Breast Cancer is hitting too many women, and young women in their 20s are an emerging statistic. This cannot be allowed to continue."

The show will travel to New York for a second gallery showing on March 29th.
