Dress For Success Philadelphia to Host Diamonds and DenimSummerfest...



Dress for Success Philadelphia (www.dressforsuccess.org/philadelphia) will hold its first annual Diamonds and Denim Summerfest benefit on July 16, 2009 in honor of its first year of operation in the Greater Philadelphia region. The celebration will be held at the Water Works Restaurant and Lounge, Philadelphia'ss Landmark Dining Experience. The highlight of the evening will be the legendary diamond dig with over $30,000 in diamonds generously donated by Zale Corporation.





Marjorie Nightingale, executive director of Dress for Success Philadelphia, said, This is the perfect time for us to reflect on all we have accomplished in our first year, recognize the success of our clients - the disadvantaged women in Philadelphia - and honor our volunteers and corporate and individual sponsors. While we are pleased with our achievements to date, our clients desperately need our help now more than ever. The need has never been greater.



We are delighted that Zales has stepped forward as our brilliant sponsor and has donated the fabulous diamond pieces for our legendary diamond dig, noted Nightingale. Zales is providing a wide variety of diamond jewelry, including several pieces from their exclusive Celebration Diamond's174; and Shared Heart's8482; collections. For just $25 a scoop, each guest will have the opportunity to dig in the sand box to find a numbered stone, which will correspond to the winning diamond gift. Any unclaimed diamonds will be included in the live auction, which will cap off the evening'ss event.



Zale Corporation President Theo Killion said, We are proud to provide the diamonds for the Dress for Success Philadelphia Summerfest. Our hope is that the proceeds raised from the evening'ss activities will go a long way in supporting the women in the region who need a helping hand up in order to get a job and develop the skills required to lead productive lives. Dress for Success is an outstanding philanthropic brand and Zales is honored to be its partner in Philadelphia.



Nightingale added, We are absolutely thrilled that the Water Works is partnering with us also and dedicating their entire property to our organization for the evening.
