Suit Drive To Benefit United Way Takes Place At Miracle Mile Shops Starting Oct. 1st!

During the month of October,  Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino hosts a suit drive in conjunction with United Way of Southern Nevada (UWSN) Women’s Leadership Council’s 6th Annual Fall Suit Drive, as part of its Caring, Giving, Changing community campaign. 

Those wishing to donate new and gently-used women’s suits and professional attire may drop them off during normal business hours at the Miracle Mile Shops customer service desk operated by Tickets & Tours.  The drive helps women prepare for career opportunities and gain confidence to succeed during an interview and in the workplace. 

Donations will benefit United Way accredited agencies with back to work programs for women. The agencies include Goodwill Career Connections, S.A.F.E. House, Safe Nest, The Shade Tree, Women’s Development Center and HELP of Southern Nevada’s Work Opportunities Readiness Center.  All suit donors will receive a Miracle Mile Shops Shop. Dine. Save coupon book valued at $2,000. 

In addition to the suit drive, Miracle Mile Shops will collect donations in its fountain during the month of October. All change tossed in the popular water feature or the indoor rainstorm will benefit United Way of Southern Nevada. 

Miracle Mile Shops’ partnership with United Way of Southern Nevada Women’s Leadership Council is part of the center’s Caring, Giving, Changing campaign, celebrating a year of change in 2013. In addition to monthly fountain fundraisers, the Caring, Giving, Changing campaign also raises funds for other programs and organizations through community sponsorships, additional partnerships and a number of cash and in-kind donations.
