Proceeds from the showcase will support scholarships for individuals seeking treatment for substance use disorders and promote healing within Indigenous communities.

“Collaborating with Break Free is a special moment for us,” said Dante. “This partnership amplifies our shared commitment to resilience, community empowerment, and advocacy through art and fashion.”
