Anatomy Fashion Show returns to support pediatric patients
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 30, 2026) — Put on your best semi-formal attire and get ready to experience fashion from the inside out — it’s time for the annual Anatomy Fashion Show, a fundraiser to support the Children’s Miracle Network and Golisano Children’s Hospital at UK.
The event is hosted by the pre-med chapter of University of Kentucky’s Phi Delta Epsilon, featuring door prizes, refreshments, auction items, music, education and a great cause. Models and patients from UK Golisano Children’s will walk the runway in elaborately painted bodysuits, showcasing various body systems and medical conditions from the inside out.
The Anatomy Fashion Show would not happen without the dedicated members of UK’s Phi Delta Epsilon chapter. Elise Clevinger, the fraternity’s vice president of finance, is one of the event’s many organizers.
“The Anatomy Fashion Show gives everyone a glimpse at what it is that we’re all passionate about — Phi Delta Epsilon itself and having an impact on people’s lives,” Clevinger said. “I feel like the most important thing we can do as future physicians is reminding ourselves why we do what we do.”
Phi Delta Epsilon is a coed medical fraternity dedicated to creating physicians with a lifelong commitment to philanthropy. Its philanthropic and service partner, Children’s Miracle Network, consists of 170 hospitals worldwide — including UK Golisano Children’s — that treat 17 million patients every year.
The Anatomy Fashion Show is 5-7 p.m. Saturday, April 11, at Central Bank Center in Meeting Room 2-5. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the event.
Tickets are $20 online and $25 at the door. All proceeds from the event will go to the Children’s Miracle Network, which provides treatments, research, equipment and other services for UK Golisano Children’s.
