VANCOUVER—The annual “Dress Me For Success” corporate challenge ended recently in Vancouver with a fashion show, raffle prizes, and an auction, all to raise money for disadvantaged women.

Dress for Succes (DFS) is a charity that helps low-income women transition into the workforce by providing professional attire and career support.

Hosted by CTV’s Keri Adams, the corporate challenge got companies involved in social responsibility by competing against each other to raise the most money by selling raffle tickets and collecting clothing for donation.

The finalists then competed on Thursday in a scavenger hunt at the Pacific Palisades Hotel to find items of clothing hidden around the hotel and assemble a business- appropriate outfit to model for the judges.

Competitors included BC Hydro, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Ernst & Young, McNeill Nakamoto Recruitment Group, Pacific Palisades Hotel, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and Terason Gas.

The winner of both the fashion show and the “most money raised per employee” segment of the challenge was Macneill Nakamoto, a Vancouver-based recruitment firm.
