Get ready for an evening of creativity and fun-raising at the annual Runway for Rise Recycled Fashion Gala. This unique event, scheduled for Saturday, October 4th at Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, promises to be a night of frugal yet fabulous fashion, all in support of Rise Above Violence.

Ten creative teams will showcase their talents by designing outfits using recycled materials, natural items, and thrifted goods. The gala not only highlights the ingenuity of these teams and designers but also raises crucial funds for Rise Above Violence. Rise is a change-maker for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Rise stands with survivors while creating community actions to end violence, and are believers in justice and the power of possibilities.
