July 2nd, 2025 by
Kendall Central Oregon is proud to announce our 2025 Catwalk for a Cause beneficiary, Furnish Hope! Furnish Hope transforms empty houses into furnished homes for those in need, including veterans, recovering graduates and unhoused individuals, natural disaster victims, foster youth and families, and so much more. Furnish Hope works with partner agencies to support individuals and families in need, with an incredible team of volunteers and community supporters. With the growth of Furnish Hope, and the number of community members in need, Kendall Cares is honored to partner with Furnish Hope to provide support for hundreds of families across Central Oregon.
Save the Date for Kendall’s Catwalk for a Cause benefitting Furnish Hope on November 8th, 2025. This year, 23 courageous community leaders have been chosen as Ambassadors of Hope to not only fundraise, but model at this year’s event. These inspiring individuals and couples have each committed to fundraising $2500 of more in support of Furnish Hope’s mission. This annual event brings together 300 supporters for a spirited evening of fashion, fun, and philanthropy. To celebrate our model’s hard work leading up to the event, they will be hitting the runway in two looks: timeless black, and white & champagne, all in support of Furnish Hope.

Our model’s journeys kicked off on May 1st with a special event at the Furnish Hope donation center. Together, they loaded a trailer full of furniture and essentials, then delivered them to a local neighbor in need. Something beautiful happened that day—and we know something just as powerful will unfold again on November 8th at Catwalk for a Cause. Keep an eye out for these change-makers in the coming months, and if you’re inspired, support them with a donation before they hit the runway. More ways to get involved and ticket sales will be coming soon! To meet our models or learn more about Furnish Hope, please visit: https://www.furnishhope.com/catwalk-for-a-cause
