Throughout the night, participants will showcase that even with Type 1 they can still find the fun in life, despite the daily obstacles they may face. Each model will also be displaying the latest fashions on the runway, compliments of Macy’s.

We invite you to join efforts with us as a sponsor of our 2024 Fashion Show Gala, our major fundraising event, which generates two-thirds of the income needed for the PADRE Foundation education and support programs. 

Together we can inspire kids to lead AMAZING lives until a cure for Type 1 diabetes is found!
