RIBBONS ROCK THE RUNWAY is the theme of You Night’s Annual Gala, scheduled to take place Saturday, October 1st at the Sugar Mill in New Orleans.
The evening features a 500 foot-long runway stage, where 500 models will walk the runway representing the ribbon colors of 18 women’s cancers.
The event raises funds to support the “We Lift You Up” fund – a 501c3 public charity dedicated to helping women emotionally cope after a cancer diagnosis. By attempting to break a world record for the most amount of models in a runway show, Ribbons Rock will set out to bring awareness to women battling 18 different types of cancers. In a month where pink is always the dominant ribbon color talked about (and justifiably so – with so many women diagnosed each year), You Night hopes to expand the conversation to include the many other types of cancers that women have. Through our efforts, we hope many other women will find resources for early detection, self-care, and ways to find support for those diagnosed.
Ribbons Rock is open to the public and includes live entertainment from The Molly Ringwalds, and the two-hour high-energy runway show where the procession of models will be wearing fashionable clothes (of their choosing) in the colors of 18 different awareness ribbons.
The Doors open at 5:00 p.m., the Runway Show starts at 5:45 p.m., and the Post Party with The Molly Ringwalds is from 8:00 – 11:00 p.m.
