The annual fashion fundraiser, Catwalk for Cancer, held at the Paseo in Camana Bay on Thursday, 20 March, raised more than $42,000 for the Cayman Islands Cancer Society, organisers said.
Describing the event as one that brought together the community “in a dazzling evening of style, solidarity and generosity,” Rebekah Brooks, Cancer Society chair and head of sales and marketing at Health City Cayman Islands, said every dollar raised goes directly towards providing essential care and resources for those battling cancer in the Cayman Islands.
At the event, the title sponsor of which was Health City, attendees enjoyed a runway showcase, with all clothing provided by Sand Angels. The catwalk featured a carefully curated selection of resort wear, swimwear and luxury apparel.
“Catwalk for Cancer is more than just a fashion show – it’s a movement of hope, resilience, and community support,” Brooks said in a press release. “We are incredibly thankful to everyone who contributed – our sponsors, designers, models, volunteers, and, of course, the generous donors who made this night a success.”
Catherine Dawson-James, owner of Sandangels Group of Companies, highlighted the impact of the funds raised, saying in the release, “It’s inspiring to see the community come together for such an important cause. Fashion has the power to bring people together, and Catwalk for Cancer is a testament to how style and philanthropy can make a real difference.
“Sand Angels is proud to be part of this event, dressing the models in beautiful pieces that celebrate confidence and strength. We are honored to support CICS in their mission to assist those affected by cancer.”
The night was filled with unforgettable moments, from powerful survivor stories to show-stopping fashion.
