Rev the Runway Raises More Than $415,000 for National Jewish Health


DENVER - The eighth annual Rev the Runway fashion show was held on November 5, 2025, with 500 guests in attendance. The event raised more than $415,000, a record-breaking amount, to support National Jewish Health, the leading respiratory hospital in the nation, providing excellence in multispecialty care. Funds raised will help provide compassionate care for children and adults and support groundbreaking research in many areas, including respiratory, cardiac, immune and related diseases. The event was presented by Neiman Marcus and Mercedes-Benz of Denver, where the event was hosted.

This year, Annabel Bowlen and Charles Mains were Title Sponsors. Bowlen served as chair. “I am truly inspired by the extraordinary community that gathers for Rev the Runway. Thank you to for helping to advance care, research, and hope at National Jewish Health,” said Bowlen.

In addition, a dedicated committee of more than 40 volunteers, known as “The Drivers,” helped to make the event a success. Lauren Whitney of CBS Colorado led the evening’s program as emcee, which she has done every year since Rev the Runway began, and she began serving on the committee. Kristen Holtzman, a member of the National Jewish Health Board, also spoke on behalf of the hospital.

The showroom at Mercedes Benz of Denver was transformed into an elegant, high-fashion runway, featuring exclusive looks of the season from favorite designers. The fashion show was produced by Margaret Merritt, who has produced many luxury runway shows for Neiman Marcus, Michael Kors, Phoenix Fashion Week and other world-renowned brands and designers.

Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed gourmet appetizers and hand-crafted cocktails provided by a selection of Denver’s top restaurants, including Birdcall, Eddie V’s, La Loma, Le Bilboquet, Le Colonial, Miya Moon, Ocean Prime, Safta, and Sushi by SYC.
