2023 Charitable Cause

For our 24th show, NOIR Runway Fashion is excited to be fundraising for The Neutral Zone (NZ)! NZ is a diverse, youth-driven teen center dedicated to promoting personal growth through artistic expression, community leadership, and the exchange of ideas. The organization was founded in 1998 by teens who believed in giving a voice to the youth. 

NZ creates safe spaces for people of diverse backgrounds, provides free afterschool programs for creativity, and teaches courses on the Youth Driven Approach at the University of Michigan School of Social Work. They have received many awards in the past including the MetLife Foundation Innovator Award in 2009 and the Richard Huegli Award in 2017. We are excited to support them on their journey of improving teen lives.
