DCS2008 BLACK TIE CHARITY GALA - JUDY'S IF THE DRESS FITS, WEAR IT CHALLENGE
It's not about your dress. It's not even about my dress! It's about the charity for children, paying tribute to superior performance, networking, fun and entertainment.
The Black Tie Charity Gala at DCS2008 will raise funds for Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) and Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego. Both wonderful hospitals who assist the really ill kids.
After three Black Tie Charity Events, we have raised over $575,000 for children's charities. We get dressed up, we pay tribute to award winners, we auction off donated items, and we have some fun and entertainment.
This year, our conference theme is: Cool. Coastal. Californian. And we want to take that a step further with a "Recycle Your Dress" concept. Do you remember what everyone else wore? Maybe. Maybe not. Here's my challenge. Recycle your gown, and donate what you might have spent on a new one to the kids! Wear a gown you've worn before, and enter my "If The Dress Fits Challenge". It's easy to participate. If the dress fits, wear it. You can add new accessories, if you like, but let's see that gown again! We'll have special donation envelopes for the "If The Dress Fits Challenge" donations. Bring your "gown budget" or any amount you choose, to donate to the kids in this challenge.
And to add to the fun, all ladies entering my "If The Dress Fits Challenge" will be entered into a drawing, and eligible to win a $2000 shopping spree.
It's California you know, and we're thinking Black Tie and Flip Flops. You can wear your flip flops or sandals with your recycled gown, or bring them for wearing later in the evening, or on the dance floor. It's a fun event, a time to remember, reward and give back. We hope to see you there!!!
