The foundation's first charitable contribution will go to DRESS FOR SUCCESS, the international not-for-profit organization that assists more than 45,000 disadvantaged women each year as they transition into the workforce. Joi Gordon, CEO of Dress for Success, says, “Dress for Success first helps women to project a professional image, and then we empower women so they can retain their jobs, develop rewarding careers, and achieve self-sufficiency.”
The collaboration between Ashley Stewart and Gladys Knight will also include personal appearances, to be announced at a later date, where Ms. Knight will conduct seminars in Ashley Stewart Stores with the local Dress for Success affiliates.
A star-studded charity event will be held on October 26th 2006 when Gladys Knight will perform at the Apollo Theater in New York City. The proceeds from that event will be contributed to the foundation.
Ashley Stewart Stores is the operator of 200 + stores across the United States and the U.S Virgin Islands.
