Our philosophy is simple:
We believe it is not only our responsibility; Community Engagement is one of our core values. It is our passion to improve the community we live in through a holistic approach of Time, Talent and Treasure. Although we do support a few charities outside of Ohio, the vast majority of our time, talent and treasure goes to Central and Southern Ohio.
As noted on our home page the majority of our work is with four core organizations located in Central and Southern Ohio so we can truly provide as much talent and time as possible to help these organizations. Dress for Success is one of our four core charities that empower women. In addition to this, we focus our treasure on other charities that inspire women whenever and wherever.
