Actors, beauty queens and politicians were among those who supported the fashion show for the benefit of Philippine Red Cross, Assumption HS 81 Foundation, and various charities throughout the country.

Throughout the years, high society personalities and Red Charity Gala founders Tessa Prieto-Valdes and Kaye Tinga have focused beyond the glamour of the fashion industry and used it to make a positive impact on people’s lives through worthwhile causes; apart from highlighting Filipino designers’ creative excellence.
