CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP

Join us in supporting the RUNWAY fashion show, a beacon of diversity and inclusivity at Buffalo State University. This event not only empowers our students to showcase their unique talents but also provides educational programming throughout the Spring semester, equipping students with the skills needed for successful careers in fashion.

RUNWAY goes beyond a fashion show; it inspires our students to engage actively in their communities, championing social responsibility both on campus and in Buffalo. This event exemplifies cross-campus collaboration, uniting the Fashion and Textile Technology Department, Art & Design Department, Africana Studies Program and Theater Department at Buffalo State University.

RUNWAY serves as a platform for raising awareness about crucial issues like race, social equity, ethics, and environmental sustainability. We mobilize fashion to raise money for scholarships and non-profit organizations that fight for what we believe in. Fashion and Textile Technology (FTT) students actively participate in activism on campus and within the Buffalo community.

The 2024 campus and community programing will focus on mental health. 

We welcome your interest in becoming a part of this impactful initiative and supporting our commitment to empowering the next generation of fashion leaders while fostering positive change in our communities and beyond.
