“This event was incredibly successful for our organization, ” stated Barbara Dell, Executive Director of Dress for Success SW Florida. “The support we have received from the Southwest Florida community is extraordinary. We would like to especially thank Donna Noce and founding sponsor, White House | Black Market.
