A vibrant and inspiring “StarKids Graduation Fashion Show & Charity Gala” took place in Schiller Park, Illinois, organized by StarKids Modeling School. The event celebrated the graduation of young models while serving a noble cause—supporting wounded Ukrainian soldiers.
This was reported StarKids Modeling School.
Held at Allegra Banquets, the gala show became a true celebration of beauty, style, and unity. The evening was hosted by Mariana Balash and directed by the founder of StarKids Modeling School, Kateryna Grod.
“Our youngest StarKids models stole the show with their graceful charm and confidence, beautifully presenting a truly magical collection by Magical Chest. Every detail—from the accessories to the sparkle—was pure magic,” shared Kateryna Grod.
On the runway, StarKids models dazzled the audience in enchanting dresses from the new Sandra & Sabrina designer collection and magical creations by Magical Chest and ViviLu Atelier, impressing everyone with their grace and charm.
Guests enjoyed a red carpet, photo zone, delicious banquet, raffle, and plenty of joyful moments. The evening was accompanied by live music and dance performances. Special guest of the night, Ukrainian singer Alina Grosu, delighted the young models and guests with her warm presence and lively musical program.
The event was made possible thanks to generous support from sponsors including Selfreliance Federal Credit Union, Callista Beauty, Krasa, Dart Motors, GlowSkin Lounge, Baiurak Photography, and many others.
“Katya is the CEO of StarKids Modeling School, and I was lucky to be one of the sponsors of her event. She doesn’t just teach these young girls how to become successful models—she puts her whole soul into it. She helps them believe in themselves, keep going when things get hard, and even teaches them acting and singing,” emphasized entrepreneur and event sponsor Olena Ber.
The modeling school’s graduation was also a heartfelt gesture in support of Ukraine as the country continues to defend its independence in an ongoing war.
“Thanks to your support, trust, and open hearts, we raised $7,000 for the Revived Soldiers of Ukraine foundation during our charity event.
Each contribution is like a spark that ignites a greater light. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Your kindness is a piece of great hope. Thank you for your compassion, for your action, and for helping us make the world a better place,” said Kateryna Grod.
