STEPPING OUT, VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION

To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation presented its 23rd annual gala “Stepping Out to Celebrate Life” on Sept. 29 at Marin Center Exhibit Hall in San Rafael. Approximately 500 guests attended the event that raised more than $500,000. The fashion show featured 36 “Thrivers” who gathered on the stage  at the end of the show to get the crowd ready to raise their paddles for Fund A Need.  The fashion show outfits  were provided courtesy of Alice Becker, Eileen Fisher, Helen Lyall, Macy’s, UKO and West Coast Leather.
