We Did It!

The Houston community helped us raise

$177,030

Thank you, Houston! We have exceeded all our goals, raising a total of $177,030 to date. Our initial fundraising target was $20,000 in individual donations in order to qualify for a matching gift from the DFS Houston Board of Directors and Advisory Council members Sydney and Jeff Shellebarger. Additionally, we aimed to raise $110,000 through corporate community partnerships. Your generosity made this incredible outcome possible — thank you!

thank you to our 2025 sponsors!

About Her Path Forward

Dress for Success® Houston’s annual Her Path Forward giving campaign kicks off each year on March 1 in celebration of Women’s History Month, including International Women’s Day on March 8, and continues throughout the year with community professional attire drives.

The campaign is inspired by the belief that when women have access to education and job resources, their contributions strengthen communities, increase organizational effectiveness, and grow businesses and economies. This year, we celebrated the collective strength and influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership.
