READY OR HOT: ROCK THE RUNWAY

Step into a night of bold self-expression and celebration of Planned Parenthood’s essential work in Minnesota.

This isn’t your average fashion show—it’s a movement. Ready or Hot models are people of all shapes, sizes, genders, ages, and races who are doing cool things in the Twin Cities who embody the vibrant beauty and unstoppable spirit of our community and dedication to reproductive freedom.

By joining us at Ready or Hot, you’ll help raise crucial funds for Planned Parenthood North Central States—supporting access to sexual and reproductive health care, medically accurate sex education, innovative research, and fierce advocacy for reproductive rights.
