Couture for a Cure<br />
Back live and in action, Couture for a Cure brought glitz, glam and<br />
generosity together at the Institute for a 16th year. The event<br />
featured a New York-style runway show by Leigh’s and highlighted<br />
the Fall 2021 collection <strong>of</strong> designer Veronica Beard. Co-founders<br />
<strong>of</strong> the eponymous brand — Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica<br />
Swanson Beard — shared a special virtual message with the<br />
evening’s guests, who also enjoyed a seated dinner, table service<br />
and fabulous musical stylings from AB. Guests also learned more<br />
about VAI’s work into ovarian cancer research. New products and<br />
on-trend looks from Artistry appeared on the runway, and all<br />
guests took home swag bags <strong>of</strong> exclusive gifts, treats and Artistry<br />
products.<br />
Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Leigh’s, and our<br />
Title Sponsor, Amway.<br />
