Hello! My name is Sarah Lauderdale, and I am the Senior Media Guide at Backyard Media (formerly Bend Radio Group). I attended the Catwalk event in 2023 in support of my coworker, Brian Mobley, and LOVED it! I am thrilled to get involved as a model this year, especially because anything to do with helping kids in the community has my heart.

There are so many things I love about my job, but the flexibility, creativity, and simple fact that I get to help so many businesses, big and small, grow and succeed is amazing. Plus, my co-workers turned family, are pretty awesome to be around too!

I’ve lived in Bend for almost 15 years now and have a chef husband and 3 kids - ages 18, 15, 12. We do our best to instill an adventurous spirit in our children and Central Oregon makes it easy! In general, anything that involves trying something new is totally my jam! Speaking of trying something new, I am thrilled to walk the Catwalk this year and am committed to fundraising at least $2500 for Choose Joy Foundation. I appreciate all your support!
