Nearly 550 guests attended the 7th annual Friends of Winship Fashion a Cure fashion show at the St. Regis Atlanta. The event raised over $360,000 in support of women's cancers and immunology research at Winship Cancer Institute.

Special guest speaker Barbara Dooley entertained the crowd with colorful anecdotes about her life married to Vince Dooley, one of college football's winningest coaches, and as a cancer survivor. On the runway, volunteer models wore clothes donated by local boutiques.

In the last six years, the Fashion a Cure Fashion Show has raised over $1.3 million for research targeting women's cancers.
