Selma native and foot soldier Linda Holmes participated in the fourth annual Haute Pink fashion show in Birmingham last weekend.

The fundraising event was held at Red Mountain Theater and was hosted by the nonprofit Forge that was formed in 2016 to promote improved medical access for Alabama women with breast cancer and assist survivors with services. Holmes was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2024 and had surgery in February.

Haute Pink fashion show is designed to inspire honor and remember those impacted by Breast cancer. It features Forge’s clients and volunteers who represent the 300,000 women in the region living with breast cancer diagnosis. They modeled fashion created for them by local designers. Linda Holmes wore a design by Marilyn Thomason Locke.

The event raised over $100,000.
