2018 SPRING FASHION SOIRÉE SPONSORSHIP INFORMATION AND EVENT DETAILS
THE VISION & MISSION Runway to Hope’s mission is to provide direct support and aid to children and their families impacted by pediatric cancer in the Greater Central Florida area. Mark and Josie NeJame founded Runway to Hope in 2010. They envisioned a charity that would keep funding focused to local families as well as devoting resources to innovative programs and initiatives to the Central Florida pediatric cancer community through partnerships with Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, Florida Hospital for Children, and Nemours Children’s Hospital. Through the Runway to Hope Family Assistance Program, direct aid is provided to families who are in desperate need of financial support. Runway to Hope covers expenses such as gas and groceries, water, electricity, mortgage and rent, car payments, and sadly, at times, funeral and end-of-life expenses. Our beloved event has been named “Best Charity Event” a combined total of thir- teen times in its seven year existence by the Orlando Business Journal, Orlando Mag- azine, and Orlando Style. Runway to Hope has received recognition from the Central Florida’s Association Fundraising Professionals on National Philanthropy Day in the categories of Excellence in Fundraising by a Non-Profit Organization (2014), “Outstanding Philanthropists” honoring Mark and Josie NeJame (2014), and the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation Creating Change Honoree (2017).
RUNWAY TO HOPE’S SPRING FASHION SOIRÉE
The Runway to Hope Spring Fashion Soiree is the organization’s signature fundraising event of
the year! The highlight of the evening is an inspiring and heartwarming fashion show featuring
more than 150 incredible and brave children, all of whom are currently battling or have
overcome their pediatric cancer. Modeling much more
than clothing, these inspiring children walk the runway
hand-in-hand with one of our national and local celebrity
escorts. The models who take the stage are all between
the ages of 2 to 18. It is an incredible experience to watch
all of these kids show off their strength and unwavering
spirits as they strut and smile down the runway! The
Runway to Hope Spring Fashion Soiree is a celebration of
these children and their incomparable courage.
The annual Spring Fashion Soiree is also a true testament
to the support and passion the Central Florida community
has shown towards this inspiring cause. Since Runway to Hope’s inception in 2010, the Soiree
has soared in attendance as well as the amount of dollars raised. In May 2017, the event hosted
approximately 2,300 guests and an outstanding amount of $1.2 million was pledged during this
single, spectacular evening! Approximately $6.5 million has been raised by Runway to Hope
over the course of its eight year existence. As one of the most highly anticipated evenings of
the year, the Runway to Hope Spring Fashion Soiree takes place at the luxurious Rosen Shingle
Creek Resort, one of our most valued corporate sponsors.

OUR HOSPITAL PROMISE The funds raised by Runway to Hope’s Spring Fashion Soiree benefit the pediatric oncology programs at our three local children’s hospitals as well as the Runway to Hope’s Family Assistance Program. ARNOLD PALMER HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN: Runway to Hope’s contribution supported Central Florida’s first ever comprehensive Pediatric Neuro- Oncology Program, which is comprised of a team that provides the full range of medical and emotional support specific to pediatric brain tumor patients during and af ter their treatment. Runway to Hope has completed their $1 million pledge to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and will be continuing their support by pledging an additional $500,000. Runway to Hope’s most recent pledge began in 2017 and funds the hospital’s Pediatric Palliative Care Program, which provides physical, emotional, and spiritual support to children and their families who are suffering from Pediatric Cancer. FLORIDA HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN: Runway to Hope’s initial $1 million pledge has funded the Pediatric Palliative Care Program at Florida Hospital for Children. This program provides physical, emotional, and spiritual support to children and their families who are suffering from a Pediatric Cancer diagnosis. In 2017, Runway to Hope completed their $1 million pledge and has started a new promise to the hospital of $500,000. This new pledge will fund a portion of the oncology floor renovation. The new floor will grow to include 12 large patient rooms, a family lounge, and a play room for patients. This renovation of the hospital wing will provide much needed comfort and top of line equipment to serve the families living and battling pediatric cancer in this unit. NEMOURS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL: Runway to Hope funds two areas at Nemours Children’s Hospital. The first is its Community Children’s Oncology Program, which is a database that improves access to leading-edge therapies, research, and resources for pediatric cancer patients throughout Northern and Central Florida. Additionally, Runway to Hope funds the Pediatric Interventional Radiology Program, which serves cancer patients directly by utilizing rare and advanced imaging technologies for localized treatment. In 2019, Runway to Hope will continue our pledge with Nemours by purchasing new equipment and training for Microwave Ablation. This new technology is for treatments against soft tissue tumors. This will reduce the side effects on the children and will offer the opportunity to have potentially life-saving care. Runway to Hope will also fund a Survivorship Program, which will provide access to information on how certain patients are treated and how cancers react to physicians between all three Central Florida children’s hospitals. By sharing this information and collaborating, doctors can better treat all of the children impacted by pediatric cancer.
FAMILY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM In addition to the combined $4.3 million pledge to our children’s hospitals, Runway to Hope provides desperately needed direct financial assistance to children and their families affected by childhood cancer. When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the entire family is put to the test and faces incomprehensible, life- altering situations. Families of childhood cancer patients often experience a dramatic decrease in income when caring for their children. Often times one parent has to quit work to become a full time caregiver for their child. Their entire schedule is often quickly devoted to being bedside in a hospital setting or dedicating all of their time and resources to their child’s care. Added to this, is the additional stress and inability to afford the bills and expenses related to medical treatment which can be very overwhelming. The contributions made to Runway to Hope assist with many necessities including: transportation to and from the child’s life-saving treatments, mortgage and rent payments, car payments and repairs, as well as frequent requests to maintain the essentials in a home such as electricity and water. Tragically, as aforementioned, end of life and funeral costs are sometimes a reality for these families who have been both emotionally and financially devastated. The needs are endless and solely funded by philanthropy. Childhood cancer is not a battle these families can or should fight alone.

CENTRAL FLORIDA TESTIMONIALS
“This event showcases youngsters who so bravely
fight this dreaded disease, who can at least for
a moment put their struggle aside and enjoy a
celebratory atmosphere.”
— Harris Rosen, President and COO, Rosen
Hotels & Resorts
“When our son was hospitalized for several weeks,
some parents at Florida Hospital told us about
Runway to Hope and all
of the fabulous work they do for pediatric cancer patients
and their families. They provide financial assistance, which
is a tremendous help, as well as, highlight the children in
their amazing gala. As Grayson walked the runway with
Don Lemon, the smiles on their faces were priceless.
Runway to Hope highlights how special these children are
and brings a much needed awareness to childhood cancer.
Our family will forever be grateful. ” —Michelle Zrelak,
Mother of Grayson Zrelak
“Runway To Hope is truly inspirational in
their dedication and compassion for ending
childhood cancer. Having the opportunity to
meet these extraordinary young people and
their families has been incredibly rewarding
and a blessing to me. I hope to be involved in
their fight for a cure for many years to come.”
— Howie Dorough, Backstreet Boy Member
I met Rudy at Runway to Hope one
night – but she made an impact
that still moves me today. As much
as anything, Rudy taught me about
grace. She knew she didn’t have
long, but she was determined to let
her light shine as long as possible.
Special kids like that deserve all the help - and love - we can give them.
— Scott Maxwell, Orlando Seintinel Columnist
“Runway to Hope is an anchor in the fight against childhood cancer. Your gift has enabled
our pediatric brain tumor patient volume to quadruple
since 2011. Over five thousand doctor visits have been
made to our clinic, a second neuro-oncologist has
been recruited to our hospital, and more than 300
children have received comprehensive and loving care.
We are so grateful for your support and advocacy.
Because of Runway to Hope, lives are being changed
and hope has found a home in Central Florida.” —
Dr. Amy Smith, Pediatric Neuro-Oncologist, Arnold
Palmer Hospital Center for Children’s Cancer and
Blood Disorders
“These kids have been through so
much, they deserve to feel like a
star! Bryan and I look forward to this
event every year. Runway to Hope
has brought us so much. We have
formed lasting relationships with these
children and watching them enjoy the
whole experience of runway is like no
other. It is truly an honor to be a part of their lives and their families!”— Bryan and
Angela Nadeau, SeaWorld Parks and Resorts Orlando
SPONSORSHIP
In addition to the outlined partnership levels listed, Runway to Hope can create customized packages and benefits
that meet all specific needs or requirements for participation. Every partner is unique, and Runway to Hope is
committed to fulfilling the desired value of your contribution to the Annual Spring Fashion Soirée.
OUR PARTNERS
Runway to Hope partners and donors have the unique opportunity to not only save children’s lives, but also to provide
these amazing kids with some of the most joyous and happy memories of their childhoods. Unfortunately, pediatric
cancer only receives a relatively small percentage of money provided for cancer research, treatment, and cures. This is
why private donations are incredibly essential and necessary to curing and treating childhood cancer.
