Largest Down syndrome fundraiser in the world attracts over 1,400 guests from 16 states and 12 countries<\/em>, raising funds for life-saving and transformative research and medical care<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DENVER \u2013November 21, 2023 <\/strong>\u2013<\/p>\n

On Saturday, November 18, Global Down Syndrome Foundation (GLOBAL)<\/a> raised $2.5 million at their Sfilata di moda Be Beautiful Be Yourself<\/a>, held at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel. Now in its 15th<\/sup> year, GLOBAL\u2019s marquee event is the largest fundraiser for Down syndrome in the world,<\/strong> raising a cumulative $28 million since its inception.<\/p>\n

The star-studded evening was dedicated to beloved GLOBAL Co-Founder, Anna Sie, who sadly passed away on September 20 after a long and valiant battle with cancer. Anna, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, loyal friend, and mentor is remembered as a generous philanthropist who co-founded GLOBAL, the Crnic Institute, the Sie Center for Down Syndrome, the Alzheimer\u2019s & Cognition Center, the GLOBAL Inclusive Program and so much more. Anna made it her life’s mission to ensure her granddaughter, Sophia, and all people with Down syndrome have a brighter future.<\/p>\n

\u201cTonight, as we gather to celebrate the brilliance and beauty of individuals with Down syndrome, we hold my mother, Anna Sie, in our hearts,” said Michelle Sie Whitten, President and CEO. “Her legacy is reflected in every smile on the runway, in every breakthrough in our research, and in the ongoing commitment of GLOBAL to ensure that every individual with Down syndrome is valued and included in society. We are overwhelmed by the continued support that helps us advance our mission, and we vow to continue my mother\u2019s work with the same vigor and love she exemplified.\u201d<\/p>\n

To kick off the night, red carpet appearances were made by acclaimed actor and author Rob Lowe<\/strong>; Academy Award-nominated and award-winning actress Laura Linney<\/strong>; award-winning actor John C. McGinley<\/strong>; beloved actress from the longest primetime TV drama on ABC, Grey's Anatomy<\/em>, Caterina Scorsone<\/strong>, <\/em>and her costars Kevin McKidd<\/strong>, Anthony Hill, Alexis Floyd <\/strong>e Jake Borelli<\/strong>;  actress and singer Danielle Savre<\/strong>; NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis<\/strong>; model, actress, and entrepreneur <\/em>Beverly Johnson<\/strong>; actors Max Carver<\/strong>, Kevin Iannucci<\/strong>, Matthew Von der Ahe<\/strong>, and James Day Keith<\/strong>; and model and actress Amanda Booth<\/strong>. Award-winning local NBC anchors Kim Christiansen<\/strong> e Mark Koebrich <\/strong>emceed the event.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Later in the evening, 2023 GLOBAL Ambassador Grace Brennan<\/strong>, Denver Broncos cheerleaders Ariana <\/strong>e Emily<\/strong>, and 2023 Miss CO Volunteer Karlynn Trujillo <\/strong>joined the line-up and rocked the runway, which featured 21 brilliant and beautiful models who happen to have Down syndrome.<\/p>\n

The Ambassador and celebrities joined GLOBAL in honoring the 2023 Premiati con il Quincy Jones Exceptional Advocacy<\/em><\/strong> Madison<\/strong><\/a> Tevlin<\/strong> e Bobby<\/strong><\/a> Farrelly<\/strong>. Farrelly, an internationally recognized director known for Dumb & Dumber, There\u2019s Something About Mary, Hall Pass<\/em> and more, is a longtime advocate for people who are differently-abled. Earlier this year, Farrelly released the hit movie Champions<\/em>, a heartfelt comedy that centers around a basketball coach who helms a team of players with intellectual disabilities. The movie stars Woody Harrelson, Kaitlin Olsen, and Madison Tevlin, a multi-talented model, actor, and self-advocate who has Down syndrome.<\/p>\n

Upon receiving her award following an impassioned introduction by Champions <\/em>co-star Woody Harrelson, Tevlin said: \u201cBeing seen as a role model is not something I ever dreamed of, and that\u2019s because I\u2019m just me being me. I encourage everyone to do the same. Thank you so much to GLOBAL for this honor. I will forever cherish this award.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is without question the greatest honor of my life,\u201d said Farrelly in his acceptance speech. \u201cI am profoundly humbled and extremely grateful to be recognized by the Down syndrome community.\u201d Farrelly continued, \u201cI\u2019ve worked with some incredible leading ladies in my day, but I\u2019ve never worked with any actress who lights up the screen quite like Madison Tevlin. She\u2019s beautiful and strong and proud to be who she is. And, as Woody found out, she has a way of stealing every scene she\u2019s in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Powerhouse philanthropists Luisa Law<\/strong> e Amanda Precourt <\/strong>proudly served as this year\u2019s Co-Chairs. Past event chairs include Amanda Booth, Lou III and<\/strong> Jill Rotella, Tom and Michelle Whitten, Kacey Bingham <\/strong>e Brittany Bowlen<\/strong>, Peter Kudla<\/strong>, Maureen Regan Cannon<\/strong>, Anna and John J. Sie<\/strong>, Sharon Magness Blake<\/strong> e <\/strong>Ernie Blake<\/strong>, Ricki Rest<\/strong>, and Nancy Sevo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
