Working Wardrobes’ Annual Gala will celebrate “The Power of the Ripple Effect.”

In 1990, Jerri Rosen hosted a Day of Self-Esteem for survivors of domestic violence. Thirty-two years later, over 120,000 jobseekers have received vital support on their career readiness journeys. For each jobseeker served, an immeasurable number of spouses, children, friends, and neighbors are affected. What started as one act of kindness – a single hand up – has blossomed into an impact that transcends what we can imagine. That’s The Power of the Ripple Effect.

We are thrilled to share that you can purchase tickets and tables for Working Wardrobes’ 2023 Annual Gala, presented by the H &H Lee Charitable Foundation, today! The event, scheduled for the evening of Saturday, September 9th, at The Turnip Rose Promenade, will be an inspiring tribute to the Working Wardrobes mission. Please join us for this celebration of the ripple effect supporters like YOU create in our community.

“H & H Lee Charitable Foundation embraces the opportunity to help Working Wardrobes! The mission fits with our goals of helping people find their opportunities to excel. Many individuals need support in reestablishing their livelihoods and Working Wardrobes is the perfect avenue for them. As presenting sponsor for the Gala, H & H Lee Charitable Foundation is honored to provide funds to enable Working Wardrobes to assist clients.”

– Ken Lorin, Director of the H & H Lee Foundation.

Consider the power of a single act of generosity: You donate to Working Wardrobes. Our team receives your donation and uses it to fund a client’s journey through our Rebuilding Careers Program. That client receives a robust offering of career readiness services and, as a result, secures gainful employment. The client is now less likely to experience homelessness and food insecurity, more likely to afford bills and have access to healthcare, and more. Their transformation radiates, positively impacting their family, neighborhood, community, and eventually, the world.

Now consider you are not alone in your act of generosity, but thousands of others donate to Working Wardrobes, too. Suddenly, what began as an individual transformation becomes a transformed community. We see lowered rates of homelessness, reduced crime rates, and healthier, happier families. We see a thriving Orange County community, all initiated by a single act.

The ripples you create by supporting Working Wardrobes are worth celebrating! Join us on September 9th for an evening of celebration, inspiration, and profound impact: purchase tickets, sponsor the event, donate an auction item, or participate in our silent auction from home. There are numerous ways to contribute to our largest fundraiser of the year!

On the evening of September 9th, we will honor Justin Frame (Managing Director – Market Head | Southern California at UBS) and Boeing for their years of generosity and partnership with Working Wardrobes. In the coming weeks, we will share exclusive insights into Mr. Frame’s and Boeing’s history with our organization and the many ripples created by their support.
