Career Wardrobe Cocktail Reception & Auction

Career Wardrobe’s annual cocktail reception and auction brings together more than 300 of the region’s corporate executives and community leaders, and features a 150-piece silent auction, networking reception, and presentation highlighting our impact in the community.  The event raises more than $100,000 to empower people to work and independence. 

This year Hope is on the Move!  Funds raised at the cocktail reception and auction will benefit Career Wardrobe’s educational program, Gateway to Success.  Gateway to Success helps job-seekers on the sometimes winding road towards long-term career fulfilment. No two paths are the same, but regardless of the detours, twists, and turns, Career Wardrobe’s Gateway to Success Education program helps job-seeking individuals reach their destination.

During the event, attendees will be treated to a Hope Walk featuring community leaders, media personalities, and individuals who are on the move and donating an outfit from their closet to one of Career Wardrobe's clients.  Funds will be raised through a 150-piece auction of fabulous items and experiences, including Empower Hours, where attendees can bid on an hour of someone’s time who can empower them like their support empowers the organization's clients. 

Signature cocktails will be created for the event by Pravda Vodka, Dreamcatchers Toasted Chestnut Liquor and Bartenders I’m Coconuts Over You Rum.
