Benefit to Support Dress for Success® Mid-Fairfield County

Join us. Dress for Success® Mid-Fairfield County invites all to a fun filled spring evening at our ‘Toast to Success’ Benefit on May 18 at The Westport Inn.

We will host our annual benefit to promote the economic independence of women. Our fashion show will be featuring Talbots and Darien Sport Shop spring lines, wine tasting with BevMax and a silent auction/raffle. Our emcee is DJ Brian Smith. Guests will be treated to an evening filled with music by Thom Adams, keyboardist with What Up Funk! There will also be appearances by Kylee Knoles of News12 and Jocelyn Maminta of WTNH and others!

The mission of Dress for Success® is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Since we opened our doors in southwest Connecticut in June 2008, we have helped thousands of women move towards self-sufficiency by addressing their social and economic needs in relation to work, home and community. Every woman is a success story.
