Business beyond the bottom line
Last year, a young Garden Grove High School student wrote Working Wardrobes thanking us: she had fallen in love with a department store dress she couldn't afford, and then found the same exact dress at our Cinderellas for Life event. It is this fairytale dream-come-true that Cache makes possible when they donate more than 300 prom and party dresses for the annual prom event. Having donated dresses for the past four years, they have helped nearly 1,000 low income teens attend their prom! Additionally, each young lady leaves with her dress and accessories packaged in a wonderful hot pink Cache shopping bag, one more important touch making it a truly special shopping experience.
Recently, when Working Wardrobes put out a call for fashion retailers to join us in participating in The Luxury Lounge in honor of the 80th Annual Academy Awards, Cache's Rene Bousard opened her rolodex and brought two wonderful companies to the table. Both Laundry by Design and True Religion participated in the special pre-Oscar event and wonderful new connections with the companies have been made.
We continue to acknowledge and thank our wonderful partners, like Cache, who recognize the value in aligning with our mission, and also in opening doors to new potential partners.
