Chance to dress up in your summer dresses and short hair styles to attend the end of the summer party of the year for Dress for Success
This last weekend my lovely wife Shirley and I attended a great event put on by MakeoverPDX for the benefit of Dress for Success Portland, OR. The event was held at Blackbird Farms in Beaverton, Oregon. The evening was fun filled and full of inspirational stories, live entertainment, food, wine, and cocktails.
MakeoverPDX Mission
MakeoverPDX is a charitable cosmetic program designed to inspire and give confidence to individuals in need. We have chosen to partner with Dress for Success for our first ever makeover event. With help from Dress for Success, three women have been selected to receive professional aesthetic, dental and salon services.
