We’re excited to announce the 2026 Runway: Behind the Velvet Rope is set for Thursday, September 24, 2026 at Bo’s Bar & Stage. Invite your friends and make it a night to remember!”
PRESENTED BY:
Dress for Success Central Alberta offers long-lasting solutions that enable women to break the cycle of poverty and create economic independence.
Every woman has the right to realize her full potential and achieve financial independence. We believe that with the proper education, tools and action this world is possible.
On Thursday, September 18th, 2025, guests stepped Behind the Velvet Rope and into Central Alberta’s most iconic night of fundraising, performance, and immersive glamour all in support of Dress for Success Central Alberta.
Your presence, energy, and generous support made the evening a huge success and will have a long lasting impact for women in our community. Whether you danced, donated, or simply soaked in the vibe, you made it iconic.
The night unfolded like a dream, brought to life by the incredible partnerships that shaped every moment:
Warren Sinclair LLP, our Title Sponsor, set the stage for fierce fashion and bold confidence. Their support was the foundation of our success, felt in every glamorous detail.
Scotia Bank & Scotia Wealth Management – The Zukiwsky Group not only sponsored the event but also powered it behind the scenes with volunteers who kept everything running smoothly.
Independent Control Services kicked off the night with a sky-high aerial shot that sets the tone for an unforgettable experience.
Iconic Beauty Aesthetics elevated the evening with a stunning VIP lounge that radiated intentional care and creativity.
When glam turned to chaos, Classic Cleaners had our backs with a cheeky food platter that reminded us that even the messiest moments can be iconic.
The Co-operators – Swift Insurance & Financial Solutions Inc. brought “high risk” moments that made us feel secure in what matters most — with a wink of style and a whole lot of confidence.
The high-energy performance of Disco Inferno was a fiery tribute to Fire & Flood Emergency Services, whose generous sponsorship helped ignite the dance floor.
Tettmar Private Wealth Management powered our fundraising efforts by sponsoring our Auctioneer, Jon Radcliffe, and helping us raise vital support for our Career Hub.
And of course, none of this would have been possible without the creative brilliance of The Forum, Bo’s Bar & Stage, and Stems Flower and Cafe, who transformed our vision into a disco masterpiece.
To our volunteers, thank you for your time, energy, and passion. You were the heartbeat of the evening.
Thank you for being part of something truly special. Your generous support will help us continue to support women in Central Alberta break the cycle of poverty and create economic independence. We can’t wait to celebrate with you again soon.
