Dress for Success Mid-Fairfield County will host its annual springtime benefit “Toast to Success!” at The Patterson Club, 1118 Cross Hwy, Fairfield from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm on Thursday, May 23. All are invited to a fun-filled spring evening including a fashion show by Lord & Taylor.
In support of its mission to empower women to achieve economic independence, Toast to 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, presented by special guest, Patricia Russo of The Women’s Campaign School at Yale to Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro.
“When you attend Toast to Success, you help make a difference in the life of a woman who's striving to better herself, her family and her community,” said Program Manager Sarah Lewis. “The event has grown each year, and we are looking forward to a great evening of inspiration and fun, success stories and fabulous raffle items from throughout the region.”
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.
