CIFW X CHW 2026
Canada Israel Fashion Week and CHW Fashion Blooms
For the second year in a row, CHW has partnered with Canada Israel Fashion Week (CIFW). CIFW ends with the highly anticipated CHW FASHION BLOOMS GALA, in what promises to be the highlight of CIFW. The evening will showcase an extraordinary runway presentation of acclaimed Israeli designers and will include live entertainment, music, an open bar, gourmet cuisine, online silent auction, and great swag. Guests can explore the MARKET, an exclusive shopping experience supporting Jewish and Israeli-owned businesses. Sponsors will enjoy access to a private VIP lounge and reserved first or second row seating.
Proceeds from CHW Fashion Blooms and CIFW 2026 will empower victims of violence and trauma. Domestic, sexual, gender based, and intimate partner violence (IPV) are societal issues of epidemic proportion in Israel and Canada. CHW’s support is filling the gaps to empower those most at risk, helping provide solutions for protection, prevention, economic independence, and trauma recovery, to help break the cycle of violence and start over safely. Funding is provided to six programs: Franny’s Fund in Canada and Michal Sela Forum, HaGal Sheli, Her Academy, and Eden Association in Israel.
