This March 3rd the Dress for Success annual fundraising gala will take place at the classy Vancouver club. Suitably dubbed an event for change, IMPACT will be a fun, fashion-friendly event that also benefits the community.
Plum has long been a supporter of this amazing organization that first helps disadvantaged women gain employment, along with confidence, through finding suitable clothing, accessories, and even make-up and hair styling for their job-search. What many people aren’t aware of is how much support is offered to the participants after their work-friendly wardrobe is found. Through mentorship, networking opportunities, skills-training workshops and use of computers and supplies at their career centres, Dress for Success helps women become self-supporting and economically independent for themselves and their families. Such involved charitable work in our community is not possible without the support of countless volunteers and sponsors, and amazing donors and attendees at events like IMPACT.
This year, IMPACT, an event for change, will feature amazing door prizes and raffle prizes (imagine winning a $2,500 Oakridge Shopping Spree), a thrilling live auction (live the swank life and bid!), and fine wines and hors d’oeuvres, all while enjoying our good company. Let’s not minimize the effect of hearing how your attendance will impact the many lives of Dress for Success applicants, as they share their incredible stories of achieving success.
So put on your lovely Simone dress, and come!
