When I first moved to Washington, I was invited by my friend, Dr. Johanna Mendelson-Forman, to The Women’s Foundation’s Annual Leadership Luncheon.
I was SHOCKED and impressed to see 1,000 women in attendance. I mean, it is Washington, and who stops working for lunch?
Right then and there, I knew The Women’s Foundation was one of the best nonprofits in the city.
And your efforts on behalf of women and children fit in perfectly with the values of Upstairs on 7th.
I was the founder of Dress for Success in Cleveland, Ohio. One day in February I received a check for $250 from a women’s boutique and called to see why, as February is a very weird time for a nonprofit to receive money.
The owner told me that every month they do a "random act of kindness" for a nonprofit that benefits women and children.
When I opened Upstairs on 7th, I wanted to do the same thing.
If we can shop, we can give!
Especially with our skif sweaters this week! Skif sweaters are all year round, come in lots of colors and styles, and are very well priced. Everyone who has one, has another.
They are that good.
Stop by this week to see the spring collection, which is available to purchase. You can also see the styles for fall, which can be ordered.
A portion of the sales of this event goes to The Women’s Foundation, and I’ll also be inviting my very generous customers to give in addition. We are going to collect for The Women’s Foundation through the month of May, so stop by and visit!
