ANNUAL STUDENT FASHION SHOW

At the heart of TAB's impact lies the annual TAB Student Fashion Show, a dynamic platform driven by high school seniors through leadership and creativity. Over a 10-week production journey, students navigate challenges, celebrate victories, and emerge as empowered ambassadors for change. Guided by senior student directors and supported by underclassmen interns, the show evolves each year, symbolizing the transformative growth of student leaders within TAB while inspiring the entire Telluride community.

WE’RE CREATING STUDENT AMBASSADORS

Telluride AIDS Benefit (TAB) has emerged over its rich 31-year history as a steadfast advocate for vulnerable communities in Colorado impacted by HIV. TAB cultivates alliances and nurtures youth ambassadors through its captivating blend of artistic student fashion shows and educational endeavors. Recognized nationally for its innovative initiatives in youth HIV education, TAB's flagship programs like the annual Student Fashion Shows and the Student HIV Awareness Project empower high school students with invaluable knowledge, experience and resources, significantly reducing stigma surrounding the disease.

CREATING A CULTURE OF PHILANTHROPY AND COLLABORATION

Through mentorship, hands-on experience, and artistic expression, the annual sold-out Student Fashion Shows not only raise vital funds but also amplify the voices of students who may have felt marginalized, igniting their passion for advocacy and fostering a culture of inclusivity and innovation within TAB and beyond. Many students continue their philanthropy into college, inspired by their accomplishments and passion for public health and combating stigma. The experiences these students have with Telluride AIDS Benefit inspires them to give back to their communities for a lifetime.
