FALL FASHION FUNDRAISER

The Good News Foundation will host its High Flying Fundraiser, a charity luncheon awards presentation, on Saturday October 4th, beginning at 11:30am, at the exclusive Hangar 8 at the Santa Monica Airport. This aviation inspired luncheon will bring together a powerful network of women (and a few good men) representing every local television newsroom in Los Angeles—including familiar faces from the syndicated entertainment shows produced here on the West Coast. Many of the leading newsmakers of Southern California also are on the ‘passenger list’ for this marquee event. Wallis Annenberg of The Annenberg Foundation is serving as Honorary Chair—and, as a part of the ‘in flight’ entertainment, Cole Haan is presenting a High Flying Fall fashion show, where Los Angeles television weather personalities are scheduled to ‘taxi’ down the fashion runway (weather permitting).

‘CLEAN SWEEPS’ CLOTHING DRIVE
ANNUAL EVENT THE FIRST WEEK OF APRIL

As soon as the February Sweeps are over, The Good News Foundation encourages the women of Los Angeles Television News to clean out their closets—and give those old anchor suits and reporter clothes new life by donating them to Dress 4 Success in our annual ‘Clean Sweeps’ Clothing Drive. In an attempt to make it easier to take the clothes off our backs and get them onto their racks, each television station has agreed to setvaside some space ‘perfectly suited’ to place the professional wardrobe pieces during our annual collection week.

The Dress 4 Success organization is well-known for providing suits to women returning to or entering the workforce. Each person who walks through their program receives one suit when she has a job interview—and additional apparel when she becomes employed. Although their mission has expanded, the suiting program remains a crucial part of their work and a vital first-step in a disadvantaged woman's journey toward self-sufficiency.

We just couldn’t think of a better way to un-load and give-back all at the same time… and we believe our long-term partnership with Dress 4 Success is a ‘perfect fit’! Read More
