Dress for Success Celebrated Women With Fundraiser

MADISON– NJ, Dress for Success Northern New Jersey-10 Counties recently hosted an event with ADP and Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver for International Women’s Day called “Your Hour, Her Power.”

The campaign called on individuals to give one hour of pay to support women trying to achieve financial empowerment and upward mobility in the workplace. ADP's women's network is promoting the campaign internally and eligible associate donations will be matched by the company.

"I am proud of the ongoing collaboration between ADP and DFSNNJ," said ADP Chief Diversity & Corporate Social Responsibility Officer Rita Mitjans. "When women work, families thrive, communities prosper and the economy grows."

Proceeds generated will go towards serving even more women throughout Northern NJ with coaching, training and development opportunities at no cost to them. DFSNNJ has a 20-year history of helping women from all walks of life who are often at the most vulnerable time in their life, providing them with the proper clothing to wear to an interview and then to work, as well as the skills to get a job and keep a job.
