Part 3/4:
What drives Bill Nye’s participation in this glamorous event goes beyond mere spectacle. The Blue Jacket runway show is organized by the nonprofit organization Zero Cancer, which raises funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. This mission resonates deeply with Nye, as he has a personal connection: his father battled prostate cancer. During the 2017 fashion show, Nye expressed his commitment to the cause by stating, "My dad had prostate cancer. So many men get it, but there's a marker, so people think that we'll be able to overcome it. So when I was asked if I wanted to do it, I said heck yes."
