The event will take place on Sunday, May 3, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Phoenician’s Camelback Ballroom in Scottsdale, bringing together community leaders, philanthropists, and families for a meaningful afternoon of fashion and fundraising.
For nearly two decades, the Wings Fashion Show has blended style with purpose, raising critical funds for Childhelp—one of the nation’s largest and oldest nonprofit organizations dedicated to the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect. Founded in 1959 by Sara O’Meara and Yvonne Fedderson, Childhelp has helped transform the lives of more than 14 million children through its comprehensive programs and services.
This year’s theme celebrates the next generation and serves as a reminder that protecting children is a team effort. The event will feature a high-energy runway fashion show, boutique shopping experiences, and opportunities for guests to support Childhelp’s prevention, intervention, and treatment programs that help vulnerable children and families.
Guests can expect a spirited, sports-inspired atmosphere celebrating teamwork, resilience, and the bright future that can be built when communities unite for a shared purpose. Proceeds from the event support vital services including the Childhelp Children’s Center of Arizona, as well as the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline, which provides 24/7 confidential support to children and adults across the country.
This year’s event is chaired by Jinger Richardson, Janell Richardson Grady, Missy Anderson, and Ashley Anderson, whose leadership continues to elevate the impact of the event year after year. Carol Hebets, the event’s Founding Mother, will also be recognized for her vision and dedication in establishing this cherished community tradition.
“Every child deserves to grow up safe, supported, and able to reach their full potential,” Hebets says. “The Wings Fashion Show reminds us that when our community comes together, we become champions for children who need us most.”
