The Fashion Show:
The PADRE Foundation (Pediatric-Adolescent Diabetes Research and Education) plays a critical role in the education and support of children with diabetes and their families. We are asking that you partner with us and be a vital part in the success of our mission.
Each year the PADRE Foundation hosts a fashion show as a fundraiser highlighting the children of PADRE performing and modeling in the latest fashions, compliments of Macy’s. The fashion show provides positive psychosocial support for children and their families, while raising the funds necessary to support our educational programs.
For over two decades, the PADRE Foundation has been dedicated to helping children from birth, to age 18, understand and manage their Type 1 Diabetes. PADRE serves more than 2,500 families of all backgrounds in Southern California while being supported by major medical centers such as: CHOC Children's, CHOC at Mission Hospital, Hoag Memorial Hospital, and Kaiser Permanente.
The 25th Annual PADRE Foundation Fashion Show will be held at the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa, Saturday, May 10, 2014, in Huntington Beach, California. Our theme "LOOKING BACK. LOOKING AHEAD.", embodies the continuous love and support PADRE gives to children living with Type 1 Diabetes and their families each and every day.
