Candace Cameron Bure reunited with her Full House co-stars on the red carpet at a Beverly Hills charity gala where John Stamos received an award honoring the late Bob Saget.
Bure joined Lori Loughlin, John Stamos, and Jodie Sweetin at the Scleroderma Research Foundation’s “Cool Comedy, Hot Cuisine” event on Oct. 13 at the Beverly Wilshire hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The Tanners and Katsopolises stood side by side again for cameras, months after smaller cast gatherings online and in person. USA TODAY reported the red-carpet appearance and the award presentation that night.
Stamos, 63, received the Bob Saget Legacy Award at the fundraiser. The foundation first honored Saget with that award in 2023, a year after the longtime sitcom star’s death.
For fans who grew up with the Tanner family, the night was more than nostalgia. It was a public reminder of why Saget kept showing up for this cause long before the award carried his name.
Bure has kept a lower public profile in recent seasons of cast reunions. This appearance stood out. On the carpet, she told People the gathering carried a clear purpose.
She said:
"So, it's important for us to not only raise awareness and money for scleroderma, but to keep Bob’s legacy alive,"
Bure added:
"It's just so incredible and meaningful."
She also recalled how faithful Saget had been to the foundation’s events, describing him as someone who was "coming to this event for so many years, year after year after year."
That loyalty was personal. Saget’s sister, Gay Saget, died in 1994 from systemic scleroderma at age 47. Scleroderma is a rare disease that hardens skin and connective tissue and can damage organs. Bob Saget died in January 2022 at age 65. The foundation’s award keeps both the disease fight and his name in front of donors and the public.
October was not the first Full House regroup of the year. On Aug. 9, Loughlin, Sweetin, Stamos, Dave Coulier, and Andrea Barber shared an Instagram dance video set to C+C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now).” Bure was not in that clip.
Then came Aug. 31. Six cast members, Bure, Loughlin, Stamos, Sweetin, Coulier, and Barber, collaborated on a joint Instagram post from separate locations. One after another, they looked into the camera and delivered the show’s old morning-bit line. Loughlin’s caption put her return in plain terms:
"Wake up, San Francisco! I'm back on IG 💕,"
That post also marked Loughlin’s public return to social media after she served time in prison for a 2019 college admissions bribery scandal. The fundraiser photos put her back beside her co-stars in person, not just on a phone screen.
Bure had already reunited with the group privately from afar before the Beverly Hills carpet. The Oct. 13 event made the circle visible again under event lights, with Stamos accepting an award tied directly to Saget’s advocacy.
Full House ran on clean jokes, blended families, and simple rules about showing up. The scleroderma gala fits that grain better than another awards-season photo op. No fundraising total was released in the coverage. No full remarks from Stamos or foundation leaders were published with the red-carpet report. What was clear is the cast used the night to point donors toward a disease that took Saget’s sister and shaped years of his public work.
Bure’s presence mattered because she had been the missing piece in the summer dance video. Loughlin’s presence mattered because it closed a long stretch off Instagram after her legal case. Stamos taking the Bob Saget Legacy Award mattered because it put the show’s most visible remaining leading man behind the cause Saget championed.
Old sitcom casts chase nostalgia for easy headlines. This one tied the photo to a real disease, a dead sister, and a co-star who kept buying tickets to the same fundraiser until he was gone. That is the part worth keeping.
