Thank you for your support!

The Power Walk for Dress for Success® was held in three countries and thirty-two cities in 2011!  The event raised over $340,000 with more than 2,500 walkers and 325 teams! 

From the support of our generous worldwide sponsors including Crocs, The Style Network, Shape Magazine and L’eggs, to the enthusiasm and passion of our walkers – we truly came together to make a difference in the lives of women. The Power Walk for Dress for Success’s 2011 spokesperson, Jillian Michaels, stated “Everyone has unlimited potential and the ability to fulfill it.  Dress for Success helps women achieve that potential.”

In order to gain employment and become self-sufficient, it is critical that women are also healthy and well! Dress for Success empowers women to make healthy choices in work and in life. Our 5k walk promotes the health & wellness initiatives of the Professional Women’s Group and also raises funds and visibility for Dress for Success.

Plans are currently underway for The Power Walk for Dress for Success 2012- please bookmark this page and check back in mid-January to find a walk near you!

ABOUT DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Dress for Success is an international not-for-profit organization that promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Since starting operations in 1997, Dress for Success has expanded to more than 110 cities in 12 countries. To date, Dress for Success has helped more than 600,000 women work towards self-sufficiency.

The Professional Women’s Group (PWG) is an international networking association for Dress for Success clients who have recently entered the workforce, some for the first time, to provide support, practical information and inspiration to help women achieve self-defined success in career and in life.  It is the first and only employment retention model that moves low-income women towards self-sufficiency by addressing their social and economic needs in relation to work, home and community. 

In 2010, 94% of all contributions to Dress for Success Worldwide supported our programs and services.  It is very important for us to minimize our administrative and fundraising costs to ensure that we are serving disadvantaged women with the best possible programs and services to help them achieve economic independence. Dress for Success Worldwide has received a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator for seven consecutive years for sound fiscal management. Dress for Success Worldwide has also obtained GuideStar Exchange’s Seal-Holder status and is recognized as a valued “partner in trust” for transparency and fiscal responsibility.  Additionally, Dress for Success Worldwide meets the BBB Wise Giving Alliance's Standards for Charity Accountability.
