Furnish Hope is excited to announce the Kendall Catwalk for a Causeevent, taking place Friday, November 8, 2025, at Kendall Toyota of Bend. This inspiring evening of fashion, community and compassion will raise funds to support Furnish Hope’s mission of providing furnishings and household essentials to individuals and families in need throughout Central Oregon.
Presented by Kendall Auto Group, this unique fashion fundraiser will feature local “Ambassadors of Hope” modeling styles from Alicia’s Fashion, Lulu’s Boutique and Men’s Wearhouse. The event celebrates connection, dignity and the power of giving back, spotlighting those who help bring warmth and transformation to our community every day.
“This event is about how each of us can be a light of hope,” said Megan Martin, Executive Director of Furnish Hope. “Each model represents someone helping us restore comfort and dignity to families rebuilding their lives.”
Guests will enjoy an evening of style and inspiration, complete with music, food, drinks, a live runway
show and opportunities to support Furnish Hope’s programs. Doors open at 5:00 PM, with the runway show beginning at 6:00 PM. All proceeds directly support the furnishing and delivery of essential home goods to individuals and families emerging from difficult situations.
In addition to Kendall Auto Group’s presenting sponsorship, Les Schwab Tire Centers and Pahlisch Homes have joined as key event partners, helping expand Furnish Hope’s impact across the Central Oregon region.
“Our community partners make this event possible,” Martin added. “Their generosity fuels our mission and allows us to serve hundreds of families each year.”
