Fashion became a force for good on Thursday, May 29, 2025, as Arthritis Society Canada hosted its fourth annual Fashion on Fire.
The evening was a fabulous celebration of style and purpose, bringing together 450 of Toronto’s corporate and fashion leaders to support the 1 in 4 women in Canada with arthritis. It was an inspiring reminder of the power of community and the impact we can make together.
Hosted by the dynamic Carolyn MacKenzie, who brought warmth and heart to the stage through her personal connection to the cause. Guests were treated to a high-energy runway show and a curated pop-up market featuring one-of-a-kind fashion, beauty, and lifestyle finds.
The runway came to life thanks to the creativity of our fashion partners, David Dixon, Evolve Showrooms, Freda’s, Gotstyle, Joe Fresh, Judith & Charles, Revelle, Rock 'N Karma, and House of Gallagher. But what made the night truly unforgettable were the models with arthritis who walked the runway breaking stereotypes and redefining what it means to live and thrive with arthritis.
A heartfelt thank you to our Presenting Sponsors, The Co-operators and Shoppers Drug Mart. Your generous support is helping fuel real change for the 6 million Canadians with arthritis. We’re proud to stand with you in the fight against arthritis.
