March 18th, 2023!
Nailed It!
Nail the Runway is an annual gala like no other, featuring fashion designed by members of the community using construction materials. Every look must use raw building materials such as tile, wood, landscaping fabric, hardware or any other material you might use in a building project. The only other limit is your imagination!
All proceeds directly benefit the home construction program at Brookings Area Habitat for Humanity.
Having A Ball
Nail the Runway has doubled in size since its launch in 2017 and this year we’re moving to the Swiftel Center so more people can join in the celebration. We invite you to our annual celebration, featuring the runway show, a silent auction, food and drink, and more. Formal wear is encouraged; fun is guaranteed.
