SAN RAFAEL, Calif.,
Dec. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Starting today on Giving Tuesday, Vionic shoes, one of the
Caleres brands, kicks off a series of charitable initiatives on
behalf of Dress for Success, helping give women returning to the
workforce a step up.
On December 1, Vionic will donate
one percent of gross sales from vionicshoes.com to benefit the
national chapter of Dress for Success, assisting women across the
U.S. This will be followed by additional initiatives throughout the
2020 holiday season benefitting Dress for Success' San Francisco chapter. Dress for Success is a
global non-profit organization that empowers women to achieve
economic independence, providing a network of support, professional
attire, and personal development tools to help them thrive in work
and in life.
"Dress for Success is authentic to Vionic's ongoing commitment
to getting diverse communities of women 'up on their feet.. With
true support, anything is possible. When we feel and look great,
wellness happens and empowerment follows. This purpose is what both
of our organizations stand for and the partnership is a perfect
fit," said Angela Caltagirone, SVP,
Global Digital and Brand.
In addition to Giving Tuesday, Vionic Cares is donating
100 pairs of shoes to Dress for Success San Francisco's
Professional Women's Group and is again a sponsor of its annual
Holiday Soirée, a festive shop, sip, and support mixer that will be
held virtually this year. In January Vionic will support Stretch
for Success, a women's yoga and active lifestyle event celebrating
fitness, family, and financial independence.

comfort, wellness, and inspiring styles. Vionic's fashion-driven
