Donate to The 2026 Over 40 & Fabulous Fashion Meets Passion Runway Stars
Some of Atlanta’s most recognizable leaders, media personalities and philanthropists will trade their usual stages for the runway this fall to celebrate the power of life after 40 and help breast cancer survivors beyond the bell.
Each Over 40 & Fabulous runway walker below has pledged to raise at least $1,000 to support this year’s chosen charity, local nonprofit IRIS Breast Cancer Rehabilitation. Through IRIS, breast cancer survivors receive free, evidence-based care including physical therapy, lymphedema treatment, emotional support, nutritional counseling, massage therapy and fitness programs—giving them the tools to regain strength, mobility and confidence after cancer.
Scroll down to support your favorite runway walker with a donation, then join us on October 23 as they take the stage for an unforgettable evening of fashion, fundraising and inspiration. Tickets coming soon!
