TORONTO, ON: On March 26, attendees of the Well Dressed for Spring fashion show in Yorkville Village, Toronto collectively raised over $425,000 for Wellspring Cancer Support Foundation.<\/p>\n
Wellspring\u2019s CEO, Christina Smith says, \u201cThis incredible result is a testament to the generosity and compassion of our donors, sponsors, volunteers, staff, members, and of course, our amazing models, whose courage and spirit lit up the runway and inspired everyone in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hosted by Canadian fashion icon Jeanne Beker, Well Dressed for Spring is an annual high-fashion event, which celebrated it\u2019s eleventh anniversary.<\/p>\n
Presented by RBC Wealth Management, the evening featured models who had been touched by cancer, either having been diagnosed themselves or as a caregiver to someone with cancer. The models walked the \u201cWalk of Hope\u201d catwalk in the latest spring fashion collections, while their cancer journey was shared with attendees.<\/p>\n
\u201cHearing the personal stories of those who\u2019ve faced cancer \u2013 whether as a patient or a caregiver \u2013 was deeply moving,\u201d says Christina. \u201cMany of our models are Wellspring members who wanted to give back after receiving support during their own cancer journey. Together, they raised over $119,000, which is an outstanding accomplishment. This event also gives our supporters a chance to witness first-hand the life-changing impact their generosity makes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell Dressed for Spring is more than a fashion show; it\u2019s a celebration of hope and resilience,\u201d says Christina Smith. \u201cThe funds raised tonight ensure Wellspring can continue providing evidence-based programs and services free-of-charge to people living with cancer. Thanks to events like this, we\u2019re able to make a real difference \u2013 helping people live better with cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
