HOLMDEL, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / August 24, 2026 / Celebrity hairstylist Kevin Kelly hosted Kevin Kelly Vision’s 6th Annual Fashion Show: The Royal Gala on Thursday, August 13, at The Barn on South Holland, raising $17,500 in support of the nonprofit organization’s charitable initiatives. This year’s fundraising total more than doubled the amount raised at the annual event in 2025, marking another milestone for Kevin Kelly Vision and its continued commitment to giving back.
This year’s Royal Gala embraced a “Palm Royale” theme, bringing elevated tropical glamour inspired by a luxe Palm Beach evening to the annual celebration of fashion, entertainment and philanthropy.
The star-studded evening welcomed notable guests including Melissa Gorga, Danielle and Nate Cabral, Rachel Fuda and Dolores Catania.
Guests enjoyed live entertainment along with a special performance by Judy Torres, widely known as the Queen of Freestyle. The evening brought together fashion, music and community in support of Kevin Kelly Vision and its mission to create impact beyond the salon chair.
The Royal Gala was made possible with the support of sponsors including Style Edit, Studio 4 Threads, Sugar on the Rim, Koko Collection, The Pool Boss NJ, The Kaga Academy, Flash Security Integrators, Sansone Jr’s Kia, KAJ, PV Cleaning, The Pretty Charming Co., One of a Kind Events, Booth Babe and The Barn on South Holland. Style Edit also hosted a live activation during the event, giving guests the opportunity to take a seat in the salon chair and try the brand’s products firsthand.
“What started six years ago as just a fashion show has grown into something bigger than I ever imagined,” said Kelly. “The Royal Gala allows us to celebrate while continuing to show up for people in our community all year long.”
The $17,500 raised at this year’s event represents significant growth from the nearly $8,000 raised in 2025, when the annual fashion show also marked the official launch of Kevin Kelly Vision. Since its launch, the nonprofit has expanded upon Kelly’s longstanding commitment to philanthropy and giving back to those in need.
Kevin Kelly Vision supports charitable causes that inspire hope, empowerment and change, partnering with organizations including the RAINE Foundation, Dress for Success, Collier Group Home, 5 Under 40, Hazlet’s Hope Network and Jack’s Miracle Mission.
Now in its sixth year, the annual fashion show continues to reinforce Kelly’s commitment to merging fashion and beauty with philanthropy, using his platform to support the community and encourage a ripple effect of kindness and compassion.
