BISA Presents “Knowledge is Beautiful” Fashion Show Event to Raise Awareness on Breast Implant Safety

On October 12th, during Breast Cancer Awareness month, BISA’s Sherri Gorbett hopes to empower women with her fashion show event in Oregon to raise awareness about breast cancer and breast implant safety.

Redmond, OR - Breast Implant Safety Alliance (BISA), a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to women’s health and breast implant safety, is thrilled to announce a highly anticipated fashion show and awareness event, set to take place on October 12th at General Duffy’s Annex. This exciting event promises to be an unforgettable evening of fashion, fun and community support!

The “Knowledge is Beautiful” Fashion Show Event is not just an opportunity to showcase the local trends and designs but it is also a platform to raise awareness and funds for Breast Implant Safety Alliance (BISA) and support their mission to raise awareness, optimize outcomes, and ensure informed consent for patients considering breast implant surgery. This stylish event aims to impact women’s health and raise awareness about breast implant safety. 

Attendees can expect an evening filled with fun, creativity, and compassion. In addition to the fashion showcase, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction, featuring exclusive items generously donated by local businesses and supporters. All proceeds from the auction will directly benefit the advocacy work enabling BISA to continue its vital work in the community. 

"We are incredibly excited to host this fashion show and awareness event at General Duffy's this year.,” said advocate Sherri Gorbett, BISAs Board Treasurer. “It is especially important to me because I suffered and I still see many women in our community who are unaware of the new safety risks. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this is a great time to hold an event related to breast cancer and women’s health.”

The charity fashion show would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors and partners. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Fashion Show sponsors, Maruces, Bella Threads, Willow Wild, and Desert Prairie, whose contributions for the fashion show have made this event a reality.

We invite the community to join us in this celebration of fashion and awareness. By attending BISA’s “Knowledge is Beautiful” Fashion Show Awareness Event, guests will not only enjoy an evening of style and entertainment but also contribute to a meaningful cause. “We are so proud of the work Sherri Gorbett is doing in the her community to raise awareness and help support women. We are so thankful for the local business, donors and individuals helping to make this event a success,” said BISA’s President and Founder, Maria Gmitro.
