The 30th Anniversary Stepping Out To Celebrate Life gala was held on September 27, 2025, at Marin Center Exhibit Hall in San Rafael. This unforgettable event honored the journey and legacy that have defined the Foundation over the past three decades. A total of 465 guests helped raise funds benefiting our Breast Cancer Grants Program.
The evening’s highlight was our signature fashion show, featuring 28 local models thriving after breast cancer, escorted by prominent physicians. A special segment showcased alumni Stepping Out models from the past 30 years, including the Foundation’s founders and members of the 1996 model class. The sense of community and celebration was palpable, with attendees remarking on the inspiring stories shared and the memorable fashion show. The gathering will be remembered for its uplifting spirit, the remarkable fundraising achievement and the reunion of past participants. The first Stepping Out gala was held on October 5, 1996, in a beautiful Kentfield estate garden.
