Over $40,000 Raised With CTW’s Men At Work Campaign

By

Clothes That Work today shared the results of their 2021 Men at Work campaign following a special virtual awards celebration on Thursday, May 20, and named Tyler Greenwood, from The Greentree Group, the 2021 Clothes That Work Ambassador of the Year.

This year’s event featured 25 local businessmen and community leaders who campaigned as Role Models for votes to earn the honor of Clothes That Work’s Ambassador of the Year. Each vote purchased was a $5 donation to Clothes That Work, and people were encouraged to vote for their favorites. The men engaged in three weeks of themed competitions, and results were tallied to determine the overall winner.

The 2021 Role Models earned the most votes ever received during the annual Men At Work campaign. The men collectively secured 5,887 votes, and when combined with sponsorships and special event revenue, they raised just over $40,000 to support Clothes That Work’s programs and services. Greenwood took home the title of Ambassador of the Year by securing 2,266 votes and personally raising $11,330 for the organization…a new record from a Men At Work winner.

Additional awards were given to the weekly themed competition winners including:

  • Tyler Greenwood from The Greentree Group received the “First Impressions Award”
  • Mark Brewer from Retail Resource received the “Workplace Image Award”
  • Tyler Greenwood from The Greentree Group received the “Casually Cool Award”

“The dedication, enthusiasm and hard work from all of the Role Models helps us make a difference in the lives of our clients,” said Clothes That Work Executive Director Cindy Garner. “We raised over $40,000 making it our most successful campaign ever. Every dollar of the money raised goes directly to the Clothes That Work mission to clothe, educate and empower individuals to prepare them for employment success and help build a stronger Dayton workforce. This campaign inspires our job seekers and shows them that being a Role Model is attainable for them as well.” Men at Work was created seven years ago with a simple goal in mind: to engage men in the mission and vision of Clothes that Work.  For years, the organization mostly served women, but today, men make up more than 58 percent of Clothes That Work clients.  Collectively, Men at Work has generated over $190,000 to support the organization’s programs and services.

Best Legs Contestant Jim Danis

Twenty one men in the Miami Valley are macho enough to sport high heels to make their legs look their best, as they compete for the annual Best Legs contest to benefit Clothes That Work.  A local non-profit, celebrating their 15th year, CTW provides professional clothing and image consulting for job seekers in Montgomery County.  For $5 a vote you can help select the Best Legs.  Voting in the contest continues until May 10th and contestant Jim Danis is really taking the competition seriously, offering to put company logo’s on his legs for a $100 donation.  If your company is looking for some additional exposure at an affordable rate for a good cause, my legs are the place for them,” explained Danis. “Truly, this is a fun event and I’m trying to raise as much money as I can to help support Clothes That Work, because Clothes That Work has provided so much support to thousands of people in our community.”  He raised $200 at  Monday’s Dayton Rotary meeting  and shared that if he got to $500 Square One Salon has offered to wax his legs for free!  

The winner of the Best Legs Contest will be announced after the 6th annual Hunks in Heel race at The Green on Saturday, May 11th.  There’s still time to join the Hunk racers, with over 100 men scheduled to  race around The Greene in high heels in support of the important women in their lives. Event festivities being at noon on May 11. For a registration form, please visit:http://www.clothesthatwork.org/events-2/events.html.  Fans are invited to join the crowd for this fast paced fun filled afternoon.  As in years past, the patio’s of Brio and McCormick and Schmick will be filled with cheering sections for the teams of racers.   From past experience I’d like to share that often the shoe selection by the runners is often the most entertaining part of the event!  I’ll be calling the race along with event co-chair Todd Crawford and look forward to see what surprises the racers have in store for us.  Over the years,  teams have  come out in themed costumes, in drag, with with matching pedicures, who knows what we’ll see this year. 

You can also support CTW by purchasing a raffle ticket online or at the event  for $5  for a  “Do Dayton” Staycation! One winner will  win  a Dayton experience package that includes:
