Fashion Funds the Cure has been raising funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research throughout the country for over a decade. Guests will enjoy learning about the dreams of local pediatric cancer warriors, viewing the latest fashions featured on professional models, indulging in delicious catering from California Pizza Kitchen, and participating in an upscale silent auction. Fashions will be provided by Bloomingdale’s, Lilly Pulitzer, Neiman Marcus, Johnny Was, and Pookie & Sebastian from Town Center at Boca Raton.
8-year-old Nicole dreams of becoming Vampirina and will be escorted by the voice of Vampirina herself, Barbera Heller while 19-year-old Madison dreams of becoming a pediatric oncologist and will be escorted by her doctors (Dr. Kramer, Dr. Cauff, and Dr. Schaefer) from Joe DiMaggio’s Children’s Hospital. These are just a couple of the children that will be featured at this year’s fashion show, and they all have one thing in common, they aren’t letting cancer get in the way of their dreams for the future!
The event is followed by an exclusive after party at California Pizza Kitchen. Tickets for the fashion show and after party are available at NationalPCF.org/events.

Why is this important?
- Cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease among children.
- 43 children per day are expected to be diagnosed with cancer.
- Only 4% of the billions of dollars that are annually spent on cancer research and treatments are directed towards treating childhood cancer.
- More than 95% of those who survive childhood cancer will have a significant health-related issue by the time they are 45 because of being treated with drugs designed for adults.
