R4R x Poppies

It started with an invitation to a Love Local event with Runway for Recovery in 2023 and we never looked back.

R4R started 20 years ago by Olivia Boger who wanted to honor her mother, Cande who passed away too soon from breast cancer. She organized a small fashion show and now 20 years later she raises funds throughout the year enabling grant funding for families directly impacted by breast cancer.

Your purchase will give 10% to our Runway for Recovery donations made year round. The proceeds go directly towards the patient grant funding that helps with groceries, childcare, medical care costs and so much more.

By purchasing a pair of our Signature Pink shoes, YOU are helping a breast cancer patient on their journey.
