We are looking for enthusiastic, dedicated volunteers who are interested in helping show the world the beauty of the Down syndrome community. More than a fundraiser, the Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show is an electric event that spotlights self-advocates with Down syndrome as they take to the runway. These models are accompanied by high profile guests who all come together to both celebrate our Down syndrome community and have fun! The event features Silent and Live Auctions, Award Presentations, and a fashion show of Models with Down syndrome and Celebrity Escorts.
The Global Down Syndrome Foundation's (GLOBAL) annual Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show is the largest fundraiser for Down syndrome in the world, raising $28.5 million over 15 years for life-changing and life-saving Research, Medical Care, Education, and Advocacy. By supporting the Be Beautiful be Yourself Fashion Show, volunteers will be helping GLOBAL improve the lives of people with Down syndrome.
We work with over 200 volunteers from Nov 4th - Nov 16th both at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel and at our headquarters located in the Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. At the Fashion Show, you will be representing the Global Down Syndrome Foundation while volunteering. Please act in a professional, courteous, and helpful manner to each other and our guests. Volunteers are not allowed to ask celebrities or guests for autographs, cards, or photos.
