The Wooster School Think Pink Club, with support from Wooster’s Center for Social Impact, raised $10,000 for The Norma F. Pfriem Breast Care Center during their 4th annual Catwalk for a Cure. Catwalk For A Cure is an organized fashion show that Wooster School, in Danbury CT, exhibits annually. All of the proceeds raised through this and other related fundraisers are donated to The Norma F. Pfriem Breast Care Center, which aids women and men suffering from different stages of Breast Cancer.
The Catwalk event first came to our Wooster Community through the hard work, initiative, and efforts from class of 2015 graduates Hallie Fuchs and Alexandra Ambrosio. This year, Wooster seniors Michael Ambrosio, Marie Klepacz, and Paige Storrier took the lead and coordinated the event. This special event brings together students from grades 4 through 12 to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer research and programs. Student model fashions were donated by stores such as Rumors Café, Splash of Pink, and Southmoon Under.
In addition to donations of clothing, local businesses donated services and raffle items, such as gift baskets and certificates.
Thanks to the assistance of the Wooster faculty and support from our community, the show this year was a great success! Wooster is one of several schools around the country who host this style event and we look forward to participating again next year! Future student leaders of the Wooster Catwalk for a Cure will be Olivia Edelman, Caylynn Maldonado, and Bennett Wattles.

Pfriem Breast Care Center - with locations in Fairfield, Trumbull and Bridgeport - is dedicated to providing a comprehensive network of services for your complete breast health and wellness.
