Mark your calendars! Matthew 25’s signature event, Runway Red, returns on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the beautiful Preston Arts Center in Henderson, KY.
As our largest and longest-running fundraising event, Runway Red brings together the community for an unforgettable evening of style, celebration, and impact. Distinguished models will take the stage showcasing the latest spring and summer fashions from area boutiques, giving guests an exclusive first look at the season’s trends.
The evening will once again be emceed by Chad Benefield of WBKR, whose energy and wit bring the runway to life.
This year’s event is extra special as we celebrate a remarkable milestone—the 30th anniversary of Matthew 25 and our mission of serving and supporting individuals impacted by HIV.
The event features a VIP dinner and cocktail hour served on the stage of the beautiful Art Center for Sponsors, followed by dessert sampling and an impressive silent auction in digital bidding format. Beverage Barn will be on hand serving up festive cocktails available at 2 cash bars, all of which will be located in the lobby and Stagg Room areas. Guests may walk the red carpet to be photographed all before the fashion event begins at 7:30pm.
