Leál's Signature Event in september
Runway to Aweareness
Every September since 2010, Leál Boutique has hosted Runway to Awareness, our signature fashion show and fundraiser supporting ovarian cancer awareness. Inspired by Connie’s friend Pat DiNunzio, the event features 10+ models—survivors and loved ones of those affected—showcasing over 30 designer looks.
Though Pat passed away in 2014, her legacy lives on through the Pat DiNunzio Fund at The Ohio State University’s James Cancer Hospital, which supports awareness initiatives, treatment resources, and oncology scholarships.
We invite you to join us in celebrating survivors and supporting continued hope.
Hats off to 25 years!
columbus's annual hat day
Hat Day is one of Columbus’ most anticipated spring events, blending fashion, community, and philanthropy. Held each year at the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, guests gather in statement-making hats for a refined garden-party experience set among seasonal blooms.
At its core, Hat Day is a celebration of personal style, where bold silhouettes and standout accessories take center stage. Proceeds from the event benefit the Conservatory’s youth education and outreach programs, which serve thousands of children of all ages and backgrounds each year—fostering lifelong connections to the natural world through learning, discovery, and hands-on exploration.
For those attending, Leál offers a beautifully curated selection of statement hats and occasion-ready pieces for an elevated, standout Hat Day look!
