Why This Competition Matters
Work the Runway is a Goodwill South Texas signature event that blends creativity with purpose. This one-of-a-kind fundraiser empowers students to transform Goodwill thrifted finds into runway-ready fashion while raising money for scholarships, job training, and job placement programs right here in South Texas.
Every ticket purchased and every sponsorship secured fuels Goodwill’s mission. Proceeds directly fund our 100% free job training and job placement programs for individuals facing barriers to employment. In just the past six years, Goodwill South Texas has equipped more than 28,000 people with job-readiness skills, resume support, digital training, and career opportunities.
