Community Volunteers to be Honored at “Toast to Success” Benefit May 19

Dress for Success Mid-Fairfield County will host its annual benefit, celebrating the successes of the past year promoting the economic independence of women. During “Toast to Success”, three individuals will be recognized for their volunteerism and support of Dress for Success to offer long-lasting solutions that enable women to break the cycle of poverty.

Christine Oleynick of “Over 40 Females” and Danica Delia of “Daymon Worldwide” will receive Corporate Citizen Awards for being continual sources of support by hosting drives for apparel and accessories needed by women to enter the workforce. Charlene Chiaro of “Clearvision Productions” will receive the Civic Engagement Award for selecting Dress for Success Mid-Fairfield County as the charity partner for the 2015 “Fun Girls Night Out” show series and donating a portion of the events proceeds to the program.

“Volunteers and companies across the region can make a big impact in women’s lives,” said Debbie Venditti, Director, Dress for Success Mid-Fairfield County. “With the support of organizations and individuals such as these three, we can reach a greater number of women and make our vision a reality.”
