To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation Presents 17th Annual Gala and Fashion Show ' Stepping Out To Celebrate Life '

Stepping Out To Celebrate Life, To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation’s largest annual fundraiser, will feature over 30 Sophisticated Ladies and one very sophisticated gentleman, all breast cancer survivors, as they walk the runway at the Marin Center Exhibit Hall. This evening of fine dining, fashion, dancing and outstanding live and silent auctions, is one of Marin County’s most anticipated galas of the year. The event raises funds to support the foundation’s grants program that distributes money to Bay Area nonprofit organizations providing direct services to people dealing with breast health issues.


This inspiring evening begins at 5:30 with beverages at the Anything Goes cocktail lounge, followed by a gourmet dinner catered by McCalls. The highlight of the evening is an amazing fashion show including the vocal talents of Stevie Greenwell, Marin School of the Arts choral instructor, and a ballroom dance performance by Dance Arts Studio. There will also be an opportunity to participate in a first-class live auction with Fund A Need, and a Best of Live raffle offering a chance to win your choice of Live Auction items before the official bidding starts! (ONLY 150 tickets available.) Rounding off the festivities there will be dancing to the big band sounds of the Richard Olsen Orchestra.


Models will be escorted by physicians. Prominent physicians from the medical community will escort breast cancer survivor models, on an emotional and uplifting walk down the runway. Models will wear fashions from UKO, Macy’s, Alice Becker, Banana Republic, Eileen Fisher, West Coast Leather, and  Rogue.
