Breakthrough T1D, formerly JDRF, invites fashion lovers and philanthropic shoppers to turn style into impact at Style for a Cure, a chic, day-long shopping celebration at River Oaks District on February 10, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The fashionable affair will raise critical funds for Breakthrough T1D while setting the tone for the highly anticipated “Night in Black & White” 2026 Promise Ball.
Hosted by acclaimed personal stylist Styled by Dale (Dale Volpe) alongside 2026 Promise Ball Chairs Alexandra and Richard Bruskoff, the event transforms River Oaks District into a runway of retail indulgence. Guests will enjoy a full day of exclusive in-store activations, light bites, bubbly sips, giveaways, raffles, and endless style inspiration—all while shopping for a cause. Twenty percent of all purchases throughout the day will benefit Greater Houston Breakthrough T1D.
More than 20 coveted boutiques will participate, including A.L.C., alice + olivia, Altuzurra, Assouline, Baccarat, Biologique Recherche, Carolina Herrera, Christy Lynn, Frame, LoveShackFancy, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Moreau, Veronica Beard, Vince, Zadig & Voltaire, Zimmerman, and more—offering everything from statement-making fashion to beauty must-haves and luxury gifts. In addition, Bari Ristorante will welcome guests with a complimentary glass of champagne with their meal.
Guests are encouraged to begin their shopping spree by checking in at the event’s Haute Headquarters, located between Veronica Beard and Jenni Kayne. There, attendees can register to win fabulous prizes, enjoy complimentary B12 shots from Clinic Concierge from noon to 3 p.m., and complimentary iced lattes, iced matcha lattes, and almond croissants and Conchas from Ojo de Agua, complimentary specialty cocktails and mocktails from Loewe, as well as receive a schedule of the day’s events, which will include getting glammed up at the Cheek Makeup Bar by Faceforward Cosmetics at LoveShackFancy along with sweet treats and surprises, complimentary embroidery on purchases from A.L.C., and Open Play Mahjong at Assouline, hosted by the Traveling Mahjong Series, to name a few.
Throughout the day, shoppers can browse a curated selection of black-tie looks hand-selected to inspire Promise Ball style, sip cocktails, enjoy treats, play mahjong, explore mother-daughter shopping moments, discover customizations, and more. With fashion, fun, and philanthropy seamlessly woven together, Style for a Cure promises to be a must-shop event where giving back never goes out of style.
Breakthrough T1D will mark the 27th anniversary of one of Houston’s most successful philanthropic evenings—the Promise Ball—on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at the Hilton Americas–Houston.
This year’s celebration will honor The Judy & Bob Morgan family and The Amy & Tim Haskell family, while also recognizing Linda Brown with the prestigious Meredith and Fielding Cocke Visionary Award. In addition, Elizabeth & James Elder will be highlighted as the evening’s Fund A Cure family.
