Lindsay Boger Since leaving the mainstream workforce upon the birth of my second child, I have dedicated myself to raising my two children, a 13-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son. During these years, I have done all I can to be as involved as possible in both of their school communities, as well as my local community, volunteering in many different capacities. My career and passion has always been working with children and families as a Clinical Social Worker, working in special needs adoption as well as Shriners Burn Hospital, where I continue to serve as an on-call Social Worker. I have been involved with Runway since its inception. I came to the event first as a guest and then supported the organization as a committee member. I hope to bring my passion and social work knowledge to this amazing organization in a more meaningful and full capacity as a member of the board.

Christina Fagan Pardy Founder and CEO of Sh*t That I Knit, a Boston-based knit accessories brand. If you're familiar with STIK, it is likely because we have partnered with Runway for the past four years - setting up a trunk show at the (incredible) event and donating 40% of our sales to Runway. While this partnership has solidified my love of Runway, my connection to the organization began 12 years ago when I volunteered for my field hockey coach's (Olivia Achtmeyer) first R4R event at the Concord Country Club. When I'm not running my business, I love hanging out with my *new* husband Alex, you can find us skiing on the weekends and playing backgammon by the fire or on the beach! STIK began donating Give-A-Sh*t Knit Kits to young adult cancer patients a few years ago so that they could benefit from meditative knitting while undergoing cancer treatments. We've donated well over 400 knitting kits to Young Adult Programs all over the country, most notably at Dana Farber.
