WRITTEN.
Fashion gives us the freedom to express who we are. Literacy gives children the tools to discover who they can become.
For our sixth annual Winter Park Fashion Week, we are proud to recognize REED Charitable Foundation as our 2027 charitable beneficiary.
Together, we celebrate the power of opportunity, individuality, and a future filled with possibilities.

01 / Meet the Foundation
BECAUSE EVERY CHILD DESERVES THE POWER OF READING.
REED Charitable Foundation works to improve literacy outcomes by making high-quality literacy training and implementation support more accessible to teachers and schools.
Its work champions children with dyslexia and other students who struggle with reading, equipping educators with effective, evidence-based instructional approaches.
Structured literacy teaches the foundations of reading explicitly and systematically. With the right instruction, children can build skills, confidence, and a lifelong connection to learning.
02 / Why Literacy Matters
BEFORE THEY CAN WRITE THEIR FUTURE, THEY DESERVE THE CHANCE TO READ IT.
Every child has a story waiting to unfold.
A future filled with dreams, discoveries, creativity, and possibility.
But for children struggling to read, accessing those opportunities can be more difficult.
REED Charitable Foundation is working to change that by helping educators gain the knowledge, training, and resources to teach children how to read.

2026 · Photography by Cristy Linscott Photography
Winter Park Fashion Week has always been about more than fashion.
It is about bringing our community together, celebrating creativity, and using our platform to make a meaningful difference.
In 2027, our UNWRITTEN theme takes on an even deeper meaning as we recognize the work of REED Charitable Foundation.
Because every child deserves the opportunity to discover their strengths, pursue their dreams, and create a future uniquely their own.
