Runway for Recovery

The Runway Show, Southern California
2026-02-28 18:30 - 22:00 (America/Halifax) | Balboa Bay Resort, West Coast Highway, Newport Beach, CA, 92663, United States
Our largest event of the year is the annual Runway Show that celebrates those who are fighting, remembers those who have passed, and inspires us to support those who have been impacted by breast cancer. This is not your typical fashion show—it is a night for all of us to redefine this disease, for us to connect and support one another, and most importantly, to dance in honor of all those impacted by breast cancer.
The 4th annual Runway Show, Southern California will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026 at The Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach.
Tickets
We are thrilled to celebrate our 65 Southern California models and honored to feature Spotlight Model Kristen Dahlgren and MC Stephanie Czajkowski — both personally impacted by breast cancer — who will help bring powerful heart and meaning to the evening.

Watch the highlights from our 2025 event here.
Before they ever take to the stage, all of our Runway Show SoCal models are already making an impact. Each model is personally fundraising to help surround families facing breast cancer with love, support, and critical financial relief. If you’d like to support their efforts, please visit their individual fundraising pages here. To learn more about the incredible humans who take our stage, be sure to explore the Model Spotlights in the blog section of our website.

Their efforts reflect the spirit of Asphalt Green, a New York City nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives and building community through sports, fitness, and play for all, while ensuring programs are inclusive and accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Through their leadership and commitment, these athletes are proving that the power of sport goes far beyond competition — it can unite communities and make a meaningful difference for families facing breast cancer.
Support Asphalt Green Today
Runway for Recovery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization redefining the breast cancer experience for families through programs and events designed to provide normalcy amidst the unimaginable.
We are here for those who survive and for those who live on as legacies — because breast cancer never just impacts one individual.
