Dress for Success Ottawa, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the economic independence of disadvantaged women, is hosting its third annual Stepping Out fundraiser on Thursday May 30^th starting at 7pm at Lago Bar & Grill in the Dow’s Lake Pavilion.

In the words of Marilyn Monroe: “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.” Dress for Success hopes to do just that with the money raised from its annual charity event.

Stepping Out will raise funds to support the various programs implemented by the organization for economically disadvantaged women in the National Capital Region. Each ticket you purchase will contribute to building the confidence of a Canadian woman and give her the step-up she needs to achieve her goals in life.

The charity event will be a night of entertainment, as guests may win sensational door prizes, snap glamorous pictures in the photo booth, participate in a Diamond Giveaway and bid on their favorite items during the Silent Auction. For those guests who prefer to dance the night away to funk, soul and R&B, DJ Magnificent will put you in a trance with his mesmerizing beats and vocals.

From entertainment to glitz and glamour, Dress for Success Ottawa provides it all. The evening’s signature event, a Showcase Shoe Competition, will be back by popular demand and give guests a chance to win prizes by showing off their most fashionable shoes. Whether you own Jimmy Choo Pumps or Steve Madden stilettos, Dress for Success Ottawa encourages you to come out and compete.

The event, along with its exciting features, would not be possible without the generosity of Dress for Success Ottawa’s various supporters and sponsors including KPMG, Sprott Asset Management LP, Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall LLP, Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, Accenture, Edmond Harden Law, Bob Thompson Jewellers, Porter Airlines, Flowers Talk, Lago Bar & Grill, Mediaco and SAAB Salon Spa.

Dress for Success Ottawa’s annual Stepping Out fundraiser is among the many events this organization holds in order to help Canadian women who are economically deprived. Dress for Success provides struggling women with professional attire, networks of support and career development tools. The organization is also committed to creating programs focusing on the specific skills necessary to assist women to thrive in work and life.
