From the survivors who walked the runway, to the families, supporters, sponsors, volunteers, and guests who filled the room with love and purpose…thank you for helping make this year’s event such an incredible success.

Because of your support, Brave Men is able to continue funding Brave Boxes for men battling prostate cancer and move forward in our mission to launch a mobile PSA testing unit focused on early detection and awareness.

We also made so many meaningful new connections and partnerships that will help us continue growing this mission even further moving forward and for that, we are deeply grateful.

We also want to recognize our incredible Silver Sponsors:

Standing behind this podium last year, my heart was full of love, purpose, and a mission that means everything to me. 💙

Early detection isn’t just a message…it’s a lifesaver. It’s a conversation we have to keep having for our fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, and friends.

At Brave Men, we’re turning pain into purpose and awareness into action.

Now, we’re doing it again! Bigger, stronger, and with even more impact.

✨ BLUE: Runway for Hope ✨

Join us on May 16 at The Exchange at Bridge Park for an unforgettable night where style meets purpose. From high-energy runway moments and sharp, custom looks to an electric atmosphere filled with community, connection, and fun…BLUE is where it all comes to life.

But behind every step on that runway is a deeper mission…
We are raising awareness for prostate cancer and fighting for stronger conversations, earlier detection, and better outcomes for men everywhere.

This night is about courage.
It’s about honoring stories.
It’s about standing together for the men we love.
