The 2025 Friends of Winship Fashion a Cure Fashion Show on April 29 raised $465,000—the highest amount in the event’s history—to support research at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in cancers that affect women and their care.
More than 500 guests attended the event, which was held at the Piedmont Driving Club in Atlanta, and included a fashion show, live auction, raffle and a luncheon.
The show featured fashions from local boutiques and designers modeled by cancer survivors, caregivers, physicians, researchers and volunteers. Each model carried a colored rose with red designated for survivors, yellow for loved ones and caregivers and orange in memory of a loved one.
