About this episode

This episode highlights the connection between fashion and biomedical research through the Runway for Research event supporting women's cancer research.

What connects a fashion show to biomedical research? More than you'd expect—especially in the fight against women’s cancers and the local support for TGen and City of Hope. TGen’s 5th annual Runway for Research takes place on Friday, October 17, in partnership with Neiman Marcus, Scottsdale Fashion Square, and City of Hope Phoenix. Runway for Research blends fashion and purpose, supporting advancements in women’s cancer research and treatment. Attendees will experience the season’s latest runway trends, connect with community leaders, and support groundbreaking local research. In this episode of TGen Talks, Runway co-chairs Lee Courtney and Amy Hair spotlight Runway for Research, and explain why it’s about more than style; it’s about saving lives. This year’s “Pink Elegance” theme continues the color tradition launched in 2023, encouraging guests to wear their favorite shades of pink in honor of cancer survivors and in support of future discoveries. Registration is now open at tgen.org/runway.
