March 8th is the 100 year anniversary of International Women’s Day. Donate $100 for 100 years.
Many of you know that I have been a supporter of Dress for Success (DfS) Toronto and recently been appointed Chair of the board. DfS Toronto will be joining a world-wide celebration as part of International Women’s Day (IWD).
Celebrated annually on March 8th and globally recognized as a day of celebration of women’s achievements politically, economically and socially, it will be a day to raise visibility and raise funds for disadvantaged women – a powerful new way to put the spotlight on the economic independence of low income women. The first International Women’s Day event was in 1911 and 2011 marks the Global Centenary Year.
Please help us celebrate by matching the 100th Anniversary of International Women’s day with a $100 gift. Your donation will enable a woman to make the transition to empowerment and professional success. Here is just one example of how your gift can make a difference:
”I just got a job with St. Joseph’s (hospital) as a Medical Laboratory Technologist and I’d like to thank Dress for Success Toronto for providing me with nice attire for the interview. I appreciate all your help in choosing me a dress that would look professional on me.”

A gift to support Dress for Success Toronto in honour of the Centenary Celebrations of IWD is an investment in women, equality and your community. I will be making my own donation. Please join me by making yours. Gifts of any amount are gratefully accepted! Donations can be made on-line at:
