About the Event
The Red Shield Runway & Gala combines elegance and innovation in a way that highlights our mission. The event features a unique fashion show where local designers will showcase one-of-a-kind creations made entirely from recycled and repurposed materials. From soda cans and thrifted clothing to cardboard and newspapers, each design tells a story of resilience, ingenuity, and hope.
Guests will enjoy a sophisticated evening with:
- Great food and delicious desserts.
- Live music and entertainment.
- The chance to witness the creativity of the runway, including a panel of distinguished judges selecting winners for grand prizes.
