A morning of fashion and fundraising at Scottsdale Fashion Square will benefit women's cancer research at the Translational Genomics Research Institute when TGen's sixth annual Runway for Research returns Friday, Oct. 9, from 9 to 11 a.m. in the mall's Luxury Wing.
TGen is presenting the event alongside Neiman Marcus and Scottsdale Fashion Square. The program includes a runway fashion show, shopping, and opportunities to fund precision-medicine and early-detection research. Guests are encouraged to wear pink in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Lee Courtney and Justine Hurry are serving as co-chairs. Hurry described the event as a vehicle for showing the community what precision medicine can accomplish and for championing research that directly supports women facing a cancer diagnosis. Courtney, for her part, has framed the cause in personal terms: many attendees have been touched by cancer, making the event's focus on more personalized and effective care feel immediate rather than abstract.
Meghan Frost, Vice President of Philanthropy for TGen's Arizona Market, said philanthropy accelerates the pace of discovery by giving scientists resources to explore new ideas, test approaches, and move findings from the lab to patients.
The event's theme draws on the spirit of the Year of the Horse, framing the occasion as a push to move research forward faster. TGen, part of City of Hope, has focused on translating genomic discoveries into targeted treatments for cancer and other complex diseases.
Ticket and sponsorship information is at tgen.org/runway.
