Fashion Funds the Cure is not your average fashion show. In addition to the professional runway show, Fashion Funds the Cure features young superstars - children who are currently battling pediatric cancer.

Guests and supporters are treated to a night of high fashion, private shopping, a silent auction and delicious delicacies from the area's finest restaurants. They also enjoy the most heartwarming fashion show that they will ever see.

Fashion Funds the Cure is an amazing event which benefits the Pediatric Cancer Foundation (PCF). Helping children with childhood cancer and their families to find a cure and treatment for this insidious disease is our primary goal. Our friends at Saks Fifth Avenue shut down their entire store to host this heartwarming and important cause. In addition to enjoying scrumptious food from some of our area’s top restaurants, you will also enjoy private shopping (15% store discount) and Orlando’s best charity auction, featuring celebrity packages including meeting Katie Couric, Larry King, Matt Lauer and Nancy Grace, vacation packages including Paris, Vail and Mexico, tickets to television shows, spas, restaurants, phenomenal gift items and much, much more. The highlight of the evening will be our Fashion Show featuring approximately 25 beautiful young women, ages 2 to 18, who are courageously tackling their disease.

Our celebrity hosts are none other than the iconic NBA Hall of Famer, Julius Erving a/k/a Dr. J. and the rising young star from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, quarterback Josh Freeman. Our Honorary Chairs for the night are WFTV Channel 9 anchor and ongoing PCF supporter Vanessa Welch and the First Lady of Orlando, Karen Dyer.

Wait…there’s more. Local celebrities will be escorting all of our beautiful young ladies down the runway. Our additional celebrities include Jeff Faine, Dick Batchelor, Nick Anderson, Commissioner Bill Segal, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, Lucille O’Neal, Mayor Buddy Dyer, Johnny Magic, Congressman Alan Grayson, Jim Atchinson, Scott Maxwell, Dave Collins, Daryl Talley, Jason Brewer and several other celebrity supporters. Last year there was hardly a dry eye in the house as the beautiful girls demonstrated their splendor and bravery strutting down the runway with their escorts.

Chairs Mark and Josie NeJame hope that you will join them for this spectacular and special evening that will touch and inspire you.
