21st Annual Fashioning Futures Luncheon
Shifting into gear
The 21st Annual Fashioning Futures Luncheon took place at the Sinclair Conference Center on October 24th, 2024. The theme – Shifting into Gear. This theme represented Clothes That Work’s growth over the past year with the launch of the Mobile Outreach Initiative, and their anticipated expansion into a new location in July 2025.
The Fashioning Futures Luncheon serves as a celebration of those who have leveraged CTW’s services to launch into the next chapter of their employment journey. This year, Clothes That Work featured eight former clients as Fashioning Futures models. Each model showcased their business professional look on the runway to cheers of support from over 460 attendees. A video featuring each model provided insight into the circumstances that brought each of them to Clothes That Work.
The support for Clothes That Work, and the client models, was reflected in the donations received during the event. The goal was $20,000, but thanks to the generous attendees, Clothes That Work raised over $29,000 in total to support programs and services.

Men at Work
Men at Work 2024
One Last Hoorah
We would like to congratulate Jon Rike for securing the most votes in our 2024 Men At Work Campaign! Jon single-handedly raised $4,670 to help support our mission! Thank you, Jon! You have earned the title of Ambassador of the Year for Clothes That Work! Thank you to everyone that supported this year’s campaign by voting or purchasing items from our online auction!
10 years ago, we started the Men at Work campaign to increase awareness of our services to male job seekers within the community. We wanted to challenge the misconception that Clothes That Work only provided clothing and coaching to women, and that mentality has certainly shifted over the years. In 2024, we served 407 men, making up 58% of our clientele.
We have made the decision to sunset the Men at Work campaign after its 10-year run. From role models to donors, we are profoundly grateful to everyone who has participated in this campaign over the years. And for those who had the opportunity to participate as role models, we hope that you continue to support the community through your mentorship and leadership.
