About 25 "models" — men, women, and children who are living with cancer — model fashions from more than 30 national and local Seattle retailers and designers. The models share their truly inspiring stories at this annual event.

At the May 2005 event, Gilda's Club Seattle honored Dr. James Bianco with their 2005 Corporate Visionary Award. “Dr. Bianco has made it his life’s mission to make cancer more treatable by pursuing less toxic and more effective chemotherapy drugs,” said Anna Gottlieb, founder and executive director of Gilda’s Club Seattle. “He also understands that people living with cancer need more than medicine. His support of Gilda’s Club Seattle is actually helping to make cancer more livable.”

Gilda's Club is a meeting place where men, women and children living with cancer, along with their families and friends, join with others to build social and emotional support as a supplement to medical care. Free of charge and non-profit, Gilda's Club Seattle offers support and networking groups, lectures, workshops and social events in a nonresidential, home-like setting.
