A Day of Inspiration & Celebration
Thank you to those that joined us at the 2026 Runway for Hope event! The event was held at The Westin Galleria Edina on April 25 and was supported by community sponsors and partners, which enabled the Hope Chest Foundation to help even more breast cancer patients and their families.
CeCe Gaines from KARE-11 was the program emcee. Karen Sorbo again entertained the audience with her high-energy style while encouraging guests to raise their number to bid on live auction packages and the Fund-to-Need, helping fund grants for breast cancer patients and their families.
Models walked the runway featuring styles and looks from the Galleria stores. Guest breast cancer patients also walked the runway telling their story. Returning fashion emcees were Grant Whittaker of Grant Whittaker Creative, and Madeline Nachbar, Mpls.St.Paul Magazine’s trend and style editor.
Guests enjoyed a sparkling beverage while doing some on-site shopping in the Vendor Showcase ballroom. They stopped by Mr. Mustache Photo event to get a 3-D group photo. Following the program, attendees enjoyed shopping and dining at the Galleria shops.
