Purse-suit of Success
May 9, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Dress for Success Mid-Fairfield County will host its annual springtime benefit “Purse-suit of Success!” to be held on May 9, in Bridgeport at the Boca Oyster Bar. All are invited to a fun spring event on the water featuring a silent auction including premier purses donated by women who are leaders in the community.
In support of its mission to empower women to achieve economic independence, Purse-suit of Success! raises awareness of the challenges facing low-income women and the role that professional attire and a network of support can play in building confidence and helping women overcome the obstacles to employment. This year’s event will feature the Denise “Denny” Taft Davidoff Empowerment Award, which recognizes and celebrates exceptional champions of gender equity and women’s advancement.
Dress for Success Mid-Fairfield County relies on grants, donations, and fundraising events to continue offering local services. This organization has helped more than 9,000 women since opening its doors in 1998.
Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available. For more information on being a Purse-suit of Success! sponsor contact Todd Munn at (203) 373-2145 or tmunn@workplace.org. Tickets for the event can be purchased at bit.ly/DressforSuccess2023.
All proceeds from Purse-suit of Success! benefit Dress for Success Mid-Fairfield County, supporting the organization’s mission of assisting women seeking employment by providing professional attire, a network of support, and career development programs.
