My #emPower Message
Hi pals,
I know we’re all dealing with a lot right now. It’s been a tough couple of weeks, and it doesn’t feel like it’s getting any easier. But I do have a small request if you have the time.
Last year I got involved with Dress for Success Ottawa, and organization that provides free personalized suiting sessions for professional attire to women re-entering the workforce.
Throughout the pandemic they’ve also pivoted to offer a number of virtual programs in career development, peer support, and networking opportunities.
This year, Dress for Success Ottawa is an officially sponsored charity of Ottawa Race Weekend, and we’re working to fundraise at least $2500 (enough for 25 suiting appointments) by the end of May.
If you have the capacity at this time, I’d really appreciate your monetary contribution or support (even if it’s as simple as a share on social media).
In some personal news, I’ll be running my first ever marathon at the end of May as part of my fundraising efforts, so any positive thoughts and encouragement are appreciated too (I am terrified 😬). And if you’d like to run with me (not physically obviously) You can still register as member of our team below!
Thanks for reading this far! I can’t wait to give you all a hug when this is over!
💕M.
Update April 29: Thank you for helping me reach $500!! I've extended my goal to $750, let's do this!
Update May 23: We're going for it - let's make it an even $1000!
