The holiday season is a time for reflection, generosity, and community—and this year, our hearts are full of gratitude. Foster & Fashion is honored to celebrate Paul Mitchell The School Federal Way for their incredible commitment to giving back through their annual FUNraising campaign.
Thanks to the passion and dedication of students, instructors, and volunteers, over $700 was raised in support of Foster & Fashion—funds that directly help us continue creating spaces rooted in confidence, creativity, and healing for foster youth and families connected to Ebony Fashion Week.
Grassroots Giving With a Lasting Impact
Each year, students and staff across the Paul Mitchell network come together to raise money and awareness for meaningful causes. Through grassroots efforts like cut-a-thons, hair shows, and car washes—often raising just $5–$10 at a time—the Paul Mitchell community has raised more than $26 million over the last 21 years.
This year marked their 22nd annual fundraiser, a milestone that speaks volumes about the school’s long-standing culture of service and social responsibility. We are deeply honored that Foster & Fashion was selected as a beneficiary this year.
Community Powered, Purpose Driven
We extend a heartfelt thank you to Paul Mitchell The School Federal Way, the incredible PMTS students and instructors, and everyone who showed up, volunteered, donated, and spread the word. Special appreciation goes to Damn Good Systems and Bel Ren by Altovise for their support and belief in our mission.
Your generosity does more than fund programs—it fuels dreams. Every dollar raised helps us provide affirming opportunities in fashion, beauty, and creative expression, while supporting the mental and emotional healing of foster youth and alumni across our community.
Moving Forward Together
At Foster & Fashion, we believe that when community and creativity come together, real transformation happens. This holiday season, Paul Mitchell The School Federal Way reminded us that collective action—no matter the size—can create powerful change.
From all of us at Foster & Fashion, thank you for choosing to give back and for helping us continue this work with love, intention, and impact.
’Tis the season indeed. ❄️🎁
