Kicking off New York Fashion Week with flair and purpose, ELYSIAN Impact’s 2024 CatWalk FurBaby philanthropic fashion show brought together 21 charities in a dazzling display of fashion and compassion. This annual event, known for merging high fashion with heartfelt giving, was a testament to the power of philanthropy in the fashion industry. Three standout organizations were honored with distinguished awards: Publisher’s Pick, Judges Award, and People’s Choice Award, recognizing their outstanding contributions and impact.
Beyond the runway, ELYSIAN is committed to amplifying the voices and missions of each participating charity. To continue raising awareness and support, ELYSIAN has taken an unprecedented step by granting CatWalk FurBaby 2 documentary film rights to all 21 participating charities. This strategic move allows each organization to use the film as a fundraising tool, enabling them to host exclusive watch parties to engage their communities and generate support for their causes.
What makes this initiative even more special is that each charity will receive a customized version of the documentary, tailored to highlight its mission, achievements, and impact. By providing personalized storytelling, ELYSIAN ensures that every organization’s unique narrative is front and center, deepening its connection with donors and supporters.
“This event is about more than fashion—it’s about giving back and creating lasting change,” said Karen Floyd, Founder and Publisher of ELYSIAN Multi Media. “We want these charities to have tangible resources to continue their incredible work. By offering customized versions of CatWalk FurBaby 2, we hope to extend the reach of their missions and maximize their fundraising potential.”
The documentary captures the behind-the-scenes magic of the CatWalk FurBaby event, showcasing the dedication of designers, models, celebrities, and philanthropists who came together for a common cause. It also provides a powerful platform for charities to share their message with a wider audience, using the glamour of New York Fashion Week as a catalyst for change.
For the participating charities, this initiative is a game-changer. Hosting a watch party provides a unique and engaging way to connect with supporters, whether through exclusive in-person events or virtual screenings. These screenings will not only help raise funds but also foster community engagement and awareness, ensuring that the impact of CatWalk FurBaby 2024 extends far beyond the runway.
As ELYSIAN continues to lead with innovation in philanthropic fashion, the success of this year’s event underscores the power of collaboration and creativity in driving meaningful change. With CatWalk FurBaby 2 soon in the hands of these 21 charities, the runway to a brighter future has never looked more promising.
