On the Runway - Shine Bright

Thank you so much for visiting my page and for supporting such an incredible organization. Your kindness and generosity truly mean more than I can put into words.

I am currently a senior in high school, and this fall I’ll be heading to the University of Saint Joseph! I plan to study in the health/science field while playing basketball for the USJ Blue Jays. I’m so excited for this next chapter, and experiences like this are a big part of what’s inspiring my future.

My sophomore year I served on the Junior Committee, where we raised funds through some very successful bake sales. It was such a meaningful experience to be part of something that gives back in such a powerful way. This year, I’m incredibly excited—and honored—to step out from behind the bake sale table and onto the stage. I’ll be walking in the upcoming show to help raise even more awareness and support for Ann’s Place.

Cancer has impacted my life in deeply personal ways. It has affected my grandmother, my aunt, and a close friend—people I love so much. Watching them go through their journeys has changed me. It’s given me a deeper understanding of how important support, compassion, and community truly are. I am walking in their honor, and for everyone who has faced or is currently facing this disease.

Your donation, no matter the size, makes a real and meaningful difference. It helps provide care, dignity, strength, and hope to every person who walks through the doors of Ann’s Place. In some of the hardest moments of someone’s life, your generosity reminds them they are not alone.

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for your support. It means everything to me, and to so many others.

Please join us on April 29, 2026, at the Ridgefield Playhouse for this year’s Fashion Show, “Shine Bright,” as we take the stage in a meaningful celebration of community, connection, and support.
