Project Rollway 2026

Thanks to the dedication of our adolescent team and incredible colleagues across Shepherd Center, Project Rollway 2026 marks our 13th year of celebrating strength, style, and self-expression on the runway. Just like every year before, this show will be filled with energy, connection, and unforgettable moments.

About Project Rollway

Project Rollway is an annual fashion show at Shepherd Center that features current and former patients from our Adolescent Rehabilitation Program as models for the evening. Shepherd Center’s Adolescent Rehabilitation Program focuses on returning our youth to the highest level of function and independence possible after spinal cord or brain injury or illness.
