South Coast & Tribal partner to help women Dress for Success

Spring Blossom event set for this Saturday includes clothing drive

The inaugural Tribal Spring Blossom Event at South Coast Casuals in Ladner Village is set for this Saturday.

It will be the first time Tribal Sportswear has partnered with a retailer to host an in-store event to celebrate and empower women to look and feel their best.

One of the highlights of this all-day event will be a clothing drive to benefit Dress for Success Vancouver.

Individuals are asked to donate clean, gently worn women's clothing, purses and shoes that are suitable for job interviews and work environments.

Dress for Success Vancouver promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and life.

Individuals that donate items will receive a thank you gift from South Coast Casuals and be entered in a draw for a $200 Tribal gift certificate with a private shopping experience. In support of Dress for Success, Tribal Sportswear will also be making a donation of new women's suits.

South Coast Casuals and Tribal Sportswear will be offering a free gift to the first 100 customers that attend this special event and will be offering in-store specials on Tribal merchandise throughout the day.

On hand for this event will be Matthew Beck, director of sales for Tribal Sportswear, as well as the three local sales representatives for Tribal.
