Dress for Success Los Angeles
Needs Your Help!!
GOAL: Raise $20,000 by June 15, 2004
REASON: DFSLA has sustained a “double whammy” from the economy - not only is charitable giving down nation-wide, but local unemployment and layoffs bring more people to our doors in need of our services!
WHAT WE NEED: We need you to host a get-together at your home or some other location and supply snacks/refreshments in line with your chosen theme. Asks guests to come spend an evening/afternoon with friends and bring $10-15 each to support DFSLA - you set the amount. Then, have fun with your family/friends! That’s it! Our hope is that each social could raise at least $200, but any amount is appreciated.
Each individual will receive a tax-deductible receipt. Their name will appear in the next newsletter as a supporter, along with your designation as a “Friend of Dress for Success.”
HOW:
1) Call DFSLA and obtain your packet;
2) Choose a theme for your get-together (Below are some ideas, or create one of your own!);
3) Invite your family/friends;
4) Have a fun-filled time;
5) Turn in collected money to DFSW.
Here are some ideas:
Game Party - Have several tables set up with either the same game at each table, or
different games at each table. Try rotating every half hour to mix up the social time.
The poker craze has hit Wichita - make it a poker night! Bunko groups could also adopt
DFSW for a meeting and have each member bring a donation.
Wine and Cheese Social - A little wine, some cheese and crackers, good music, and great friends mingling and socializing - low key and easy to plan.
Sports Night - Invite Family or friends over to watch a sporting event together, including
munchies - perfect for the family or even the man who wants to support women in need.
Afternoon Tea - Tea and cookies with friends. If you prefer, DFSW will send someone to
talk about our programs and how your guests are helping other women in the community
better themselves. Great for church groups!
Movie Night - Show a movie, pop some popcorn, serve some soda/drinks - popular
get-together movies might include Rocky Horror Picture Show, Caddyshack, Star Wars,
etc. This one is easy to plan and great for couples, families or guys!
Thank you in advance for your support. In the last ten years, we have
helped over 10,000 women on their way to employment and a better life.
Help us continue to help them! Rest assured that your money is used locally
and greatly appreciated.
