8th Annual A Sun For My Sun Gun & Domestic Violence Fashion Show Fundraiser
About this Event
Summary: 8th Annual “A Sun for My Sun” Fashion Show Fundraiser
Theme: From Grief to Grace
The 8th Annual A Sun for My Sun Fashion Show Fundraiser, presented by Strut Talk Runway Therapy, is a powerful and purpose-driven experience centered on healing, remembrance, and transformation. This year’s theme, From Grief to Grace, reflects the journey of turning pain into purpose and loss into legacy.
Held in Columbia, South Carolina, this signature event honors the lives of those lost to gun and domestic violence while uplifting the families, especially mothers, who continue to stand in strength and resilience. Through the art of runway, these women courageously share their stories, walking not just in memory of their loved ones, but in their own power.
The event blends fashion, storytelling, and advocacy into a moving production featuring designers, models, and community leaders. Each segment is intentionally curated to create a space for women’s healing and empowerment, allowing attendees to witness the beauty of transformation through confidence, posture, and presence.
Recognized by the City of Columbia with an official proclamation, A Sun for My Sun is more than a fundraiser, it is a movement. Proceeds support Strut Talk Runway Therapy’s programs, which provide confidence coaching, mental and emotional wellness support, and resources for individuals and families impacted by trauma.
From grief to grace, we rise, we heal, and we strut thru it together.
