2021 Annual Report

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