Fans of the fashion show models display their "stuffing" money. Over $2,000 was stuffed in the pockets of models by supporters as they walked the runway.

Irreverent Fashion Show Benefits Women's Cancers

Kim Biehl, General Manager, Saks Fifth Avenue Fashion Valley shows her appreciation for fashion show model Ed Holmes, Vice Chancellor of Health Sciences/Dean, School of Medicine.

To help raise awareness and dollars for all women's cancers, the Saks Fifth Avenue store in Fashion Valley partnered with the Moores UCSD Cancer Center to host "Men About Town," a slightly irreverent fashion featuring nearly 30 prominent San Diego men dressed in Saks apparel. Now in its second year, the fashion show is co-chaired by Katherine Kennedy and Robert Horsman.

"It's great fun to see these business and community leaders and celebrities looking fabulous and strutting down the runway," said Kennedy. "The crowd really gets into it, cheering the models and some even throwing money onto the stage. Everyone has fun while supporting an important cause."

The fashion show, held Oct. 13, is part of "Key to the Cure," a 4-day shopping event held at Saks in October with a percentage of all sales going to support research into breast cancer and women's reproductive cancers. This year's event raised nearly $150,000. The partnership between Saks and the Cancer Center has raised more than $500,000 through sales and sponsorships during the past five years.
